thanks Yeah sounds like a plan guys, thanks for the advice, ill just take to a pro.

Im pretty sure this woould solve my problem but im not that good with cars nor do i have the confidence to do it, ive read about it all over the site but it seems to intimidating to me. Is it possible a shop would do it for me and for how much anyone know???? Thanks

If your 4 wheel drive is ever ever stuck do this, get under the car with it on and have someone hit the transfer case motor this happened to me and doing this worked such a simple solution to a complicated problem!!!!

nope ive tried everything, that wont work anyway the motor is probabley broken hasnt anyone else had this problem??

???? i dont even know where to start looking guess im just better off taking it in somewhere but i dont think i have enough $$ to get it fixed

still stuck Im not smart enough to do an operation like this should i just take it into a shop? what do you mean by rubber mallet?

today doing some slight offroading, i engaged 4x4 hi and while i was stuck i engaged 4LO and then i heard a loud clang/snap pressed the buttons and the lights wouldn't go off. Then turned the car off. came back later and the lights were off when car started. Backed up 100yards still in 4xlow but...

hmm well actually they did say that it was a pain in the ass getting out the joints and ball bearings or whatever, they had to heat them with a torch they were so bad. im only 18 and its my money paying for this so i just dont wanna get screwed and trying to learn as I go. since i got the car...

grrr cant find the right size not at home depo not sears its a size 18 right for a 94 X plus dont they have to have a hole in the middle?

how do you know the code where does it display it?

how the heck do i get the battery cable off i cant get to it so i can unscrew the bolts cuz theres some plastic thing in the way, any ideas?

no The motor and gears are fine becuase the metal thing inside goes up and down, the window just doesent come down with it becuase its not stuck to it or something.

The other day i tried to open my window driver side but it was frozen shut then later that day it opened and wouldent go back up. today i opened the panel and tried to figure out the problem, i got the window to go up but it wont come down on its own, what makes the window stick the the track...
