Gday guys, I had posted this in the Modified section a few days ago, but thought I would just stick it in hear as well to make sure I am on the right track. (Conclusion was it’s most likely a Shift motor problem)
Short story, I went out on the weekend to run some trails upon arriving, when I tried to engage 4WD Low it wouldn’t engage, No noises or flashing lights or anything but 4WD High and the TOD system are working fine.
(Cut from my other post)
OK, Have checked all fuses unplugged electrical connection to Shift motor and sprayed with electrical cleaner (Busted the stupid clip/ lock thing on the connection, Just pushed them back together anyway They should stay connected) gave shift motor a few soft tapes with a hammer.
Started car 4WD HI and Low light’s come on and go out as they normally do (It is Not flashing an error code), Select 4WD Hi, It engages and the 4WD HI dash light comes on, Put transmission in Neutral and foot on Brake select 4WD Low and nothing No light’s flashing and no Noise from shift motor.
4WD Low was working fine; Just a Month ago when I shifted in and out of it 3 or 4 times when out on some trails now it’s dead what the hell.
This is not looking good.
Any thoughts
Sorry about the repeat post, I just want to make sure I am looking in the right aria.
It's a 98 XLT 4WD.
Cheers.
