Hubs Lock but still no 4X4 HELP!

[Deuces Wild]

Have a 03' F-250 7.3 with Warn Hubs, they will turn on and the front drive shaft locks in place, But I kick it in 4x4 on the dash and I dont get any lights, and it wont kick in, Drive in Rev for a little, then go foward and nothing happens...

electrical solenoid on the transfer case?

[pinkfloyd]

did you check your fuses? I believe there are 2 fuses that control the 4x4. One is a 10A fuse the other is a 30A.

Checked all fuses, all good... Have not checked the solenoid tho.

+1 on the solenoid (assuming you mean the transfercase shift motor). I have a very similar issue and replaced everything short of the transfercase, and I mean everything, ESOF switch on the dash, both fuses (even though they were still good just trying to find a cheap fix), both relays (for the same reason), traced every inch of wiring and finally broke down and bought a transfercase shift motor that finally fixed the problem.

having the same problem, what does this selenoid cost?

[o0firemaster0o]

They are around 200 bucks at autozone/advance auto. You can get them pretty chep online if you search around a bit.

Would this be what I am looking for?

Yes it is. I paid 180 for mine from NAPA. When I ordered it they asked if I needed the NV271 or NV273 shift motor. I told them I had no idea and they simply chose the more common one. Apparently though our trucks had two different options for tcase, maybe esof vs manual? I am sure someone with more knowledge will guide you better, but NADA had the same price for both and was willing to swap for free if it wasn't the correct one which is why I went with them, peace of mind. I am sure ORielys/Autozone/ETC would do the same for you.
