Basically I have undone all the bolts and disconnected the wiring harness pulled the shift motor off it mounting point.
When Oh ****, got it as low as the fuel tank whit I realised there are wires coming out of the shift motor wiring harness.
Of the 14 wires I think 8 go into the shift motor and shift motor gear housing aria and the other 6 go to 3 sensors that are in the T/case
So what do I do now? I can’t remove the shift motor with these wires still attached and it will be one big PITA pulling it apart wile lying underneath the X.
It’s a 98 XLT so I am guessing these sensors are for the TOD system or sensors for Low range engagement and have just been added to the Shift motor wiring harness so 2 wiring harness don’t need to be used.
Who has worked on a shift motor on an X with the TOD system??
I would just pull the sensors out of the case but that could be asking for more trouble, unless you guys have done it before.
