ongoing 4x4 issue is drivng me crazy!

OK... BUT.... you posted that it shifts its LO. How do you know? That's what I am asking. Remove the shift motor and actually check to see that the motor is shifting as opposed to (my guess) watching for a light. Yes I understand what you are saying about the motor for range only but humor me so we can perhaps work thru this. I guess its your time, effort and money (parts) and its no fun under a vehicle.

Further.... I re-read your reply to my initial "request"... my "oops" .... your "test" at the end is great. That test suggests that it might not be a "ground" problem per se but that the "magnetic clutch windings" are "not very good"... :-)... although it could just as likely that the wiring travelling thru the case to the clutch is "shorted" somewhere.

The bad news is that appears to "major effort" to get at the clutch coil... :-(

The transfer case shifts into low just fine. I can tell from the noise from the motor and the bucking and such and low gearing when I drive.

Yea I figured as much as to the coil. I thought about redoing it myself but I got a friend that has a good case for 80 bux. I just hate messing with it..lol

Wow, guess this website is dead.. Thats too bad, the guy at my race track recommended you guys.
 






Well why don't you just drop the case and have a look see? It takes less than an hour to do, and the case it self is actually quite simple.
 






Does anyone have a break down of the transfer case
 






Does anyone have a break down of the transfer case

Most on-line T-Case vendors have a break down...give me a few minutes and I'll check my hard drive...
