Well first check fuses and relays. From there check to see if you have voltage at the transfercase switch motor at the transfercase. If you have power there then you may have a bad motor or a short from the switch to the motor.

just do it the ol' fashion way, get out and lock those hubs!

alright, been to busy and cold in alaska, I'll start checking that stuff out as soon as I can. thats, do you know where the relay is??? fuse i should be able to find, I guess I should buy a book too. thanks

still doesnt help if the actuator in the transfer case isnt locking the front driveshaft.

Id start with toss it in 4wd. does it work with hubs locked or unlocked?

Are all fuses ok?

Can you hear the actuator when you select 4wd?


the basics first.

well been awhile, but replaced the front hubs. Lost one driving down the road so put a set of Warn manual locking hubs. was under the truck and pulled the two-wire plug off the T-case and oil was dripping from this. Sounds like I need and motor and a seal? anybody done this seal? what is it a simple O-ring?
