Well here goes ,had our first significant snow dec 17. switched on the 4x4 with no result.Started surfing trying to find out where to start diagnosing. there were no real definant starting points . found these post and went strait for the transfercase shift motor ,bought a rebuild at advance auto($88.00) ,traded mine for core refund. put this rebuilt job on .no 4x4.Talked to ford certified mech said to try another motor preferably from napa or carquest.pulled this motor ,took back to advance auto ,they could not get another.ask for a refund and finaly did get my money back +$25.00 for my core after telling them i could get a new one for $90.00 at napa.Put this new one on ,flipped the switch and no 4x4. Got back on this site read from start to finish and decided that the 4x4 control module needed to be replaced .So I ordered one from fordpartsguys( Ford Dealership in NV) on ebay ($135.00)inc ship-ping. swapped this part out and still no 4x4.Back tothe ford mech to ask what to do next ??? well he said to swap the motor again .I"m becoming apro at swaping tx case motors. after this swap I was almost afraid to flip the switch. but when i did,it worked like new.Where was the problem? I may never know. But still came out cheaper than taking to the dealership(stealership).But I believe the problem was the 4x4 control module all the time because the 4x4 dash light did not light when the truck was started.I hope this post helps . so any one else dont have to go through the pain in the neck I"ve had for the past 2 months.total($225.00)
