Hello everyone,
New here but let me start by saying there is a lot of great info here that has helped me alot.
I am having the common shift motor problem. I started by replacing the shift motor position sensor witch i know was bad, cleaned the motor, put it all back in the truck and now the motor is getting signal from the modual to shift but it just kind of bounces and does not go into 4hi. I can put direct power to the motor and it moves fine, i checked continuity at the position sensor and all is good. The modual checks out with the self test (blinks 4 times), i thought maybe that was bad and grabbed one from the junk yard with the same results. I am stumped!! I dont understand why i can put direct power to the motor and it works fine but when i plug it into the truck and push the button all i get is some clicking, a little movement from the shaft but doesn't turn. I am thinking the motor is bad and wont work on the truck but bench tests fine... Is that possible or do i have an issue somewhere else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
