I fixed my shift motor 2 months ago when i joined this site-- did what you said, and it worked, after 5 years. All of a sudden, it just stopped working again - no 4wd
So other day took the whole thing off again and changed the little rubber piece to a harder piece of rubber, though maybe the soft grommet rode up on that little raised part and got stuck- one side of the grommet was a bit flattened... But didnt think that was so cause that little motor is strong..
So i put a new little almost urethane thing on their bolted it all up and it worked again. Light came on dash, and that was that. So i just pushed the switch again to to disengage the 4wd.
Then other day just for heck of it pushed button on dash and nothing again..
Checked all connections- everything good pushed button on computer stlil nothing
So today I left the motor on but took off the little round plate to just look inside- i marked it but all I did was scratch the dirt on it, so i lost the setting-
Its not off by much, but it could be off as much as a 1/2"
So now what do i do?
Every time i had the motor off i bench tested it and that works fine
Whats going on her and how do i find that setting?
