My 2009 Limited has non power running boards with rear a/c. They will absolutely fit.

i have all ready ran it thru ford parts dept and got a print out on it it came with everything under the sun including power steps and i did not know at the time they came with running boards so i did not think about them not working any more and that is why they were removed this is the first explorer i have ever had i love it it is simple to work on so far and drives great and handles good and 4 wheel works great and 4.0 pers . thank you

I'm surprised that it came with power steps. I was under the impression that Ford stopped installing them after 2008. That's why I wanted to run your vin.

Our 07 EB came with power running boards that were of course stuck down. Took them off, got OEM running boards from a junk yard from another Eddie Bauer, and put them on in 30 minutes.
The only difference is that the power boards are attached on the first and third mounting points. The middle one is not used. The fixed one use all 3 locations but they exits already on the body, so all you need is I believe, six M 8x1.25 short bolts with nuts (3 per side).
And it has rear AC.

They'll fit (with or without rear A/C)
The hard thing is putting power boards on an Expo that didn't come with them.
Power boards were a standalone option on the 08 EB and Limited, and 09-10 Limited.

i put grease inside the ele. connections and taped them up and silicon-ed them shut so it cannot short out and if ever needed it can be used

If you frequently oil all the hinge pin in the running boards, they won't stick. If stuck, you may have to remove and standing on end to get oil to penetrate and free up.

Be careful when driving the motor shafts out of the running board brackets. They are very brittle and just crack. Use some type of C clamp or bearing puller. Using hammer can end up breaking them.

Don't ask how I know
Once you get it working, they are supposed to be lubricated periodically with garage door opener spray.
