Hey guys, been awhile for me, but heres the deal. 4 wheel drive has been acting up, so I bought the new solenoid and still no fix.. Here's the problem, i turn the switch and NOTHING.. every other day it works.. i checked the fuse and its good, any ideas??

 

try tapping the electric motor on the back side of your transfer case with a hammer.

 

where the hell is that??

 

Sounds like your Electronic Shift on the Fly (ESOF) motor is getting lazy. It's pretty typical. The motor is located on the back side of your Transfer Case - which is located just behind your transmission. You'll see on driveshaft heading out the back to your rear axle and one heading forward to the front axle. The motor has a bundle of wires on a connector coming out of it.

The tapping with a hammer trick sometimes works to temporarily wake one of those bad boys up, but generally speaking, it's time to replace it.

 

thanks for the help, im gonna start a tapping and see how it works

 

tapping worked, and has seemed to fix the problem.. THANKS!!!
