Install shift motor on transfer case

[alaskamgd40]

I have install shift motor on the transfer case. At first it worked ok for the first 3 time I put into gear to 4 wheel drive and back to 2 wheel drive and it worked ok. Then the very next day, it did not work for the 4 wheel drive after I push the automatic button and did not ingadge to 4 wheel drive and the light on the dash board did not turn on. What I must do next?

I would check you connections again to make sure they are all seeted properly. Make sure all the wires are in the plug too. I have had the wires break off and the motor wont shift then. There is a number of things it could be. Have you tried to check for power at the tcase when you push the button? Check all the fuses that pertain to the tcase.

Check the fuse for it too, easiest thing to do first

Is the shift motor you installed new or used? I would gently tap the shift motor with a rubber mallet a few times to see if you can jar its internal components into making better electrical contact.
