I need help friends. I have a 4L '04 and the wheels bind up and the tires chirp when I'm turning hard. I believe it is stuck in 4 high. To confirm I jacked up the front end and tried to turn the tires by hand while in park, they only turned a little each way. In neutral they spin fine. The control switches in the dash appear to do nothing and I have no indicator lights on the dash on. When I turn the key the 4low light comes on during the lamp test. I checked all the fuses in both panels. I removed the shift motor and I could see the shaft the shift motor turns is rotated over to 4h position, it can move it by hand pretty easy so I tried to bench test the shift motor, my jumper wire got very hot very fast when I applied power to the shifter so I figured it was bad since it didn't move at all. Replaced it and still no change. I then checked the switches and they are getting power and there is a low voltage signal one of the wires that varies depending on which of the 3 buttons I push. I also verified power to the 4x4 relays with key on and brake pressed. I'm thinking it might be the module but would like to know what someone smarter thinks.
