ok so my cousin has a 1994 f150 and for some reason it wont go into 4 wheel drive. its push button we replaced the computer on the passenger side and still nothing the motor on the transfer case is getting constant power but no switched. and there is a litte red light on the computer that stays on for a second then shuts off. any ideas is there a way to run power srtaight to the motor to gt it to go in 4 wheel drive ? if so what wire?

Take the motor off, clean it up, lube it, align it and try again. The computer blinks when there is a problem with the system. It's usually a bad or frozen motor.

ok ill try that thanks any other input ?

Swap a manual shift t-case in. :flipoff2:

That thing have auto locking hubs? Hub issue or vacuum leak???

the auto hubs aren't controlled by vacuum.


Try hitting the t-case solenoid with a hammer... really hard. It'll work a few times until you can swap in a manual-shift case.

Or try cleaning the connections to see if it'll engage, and if it still won't, just replace the solenoid.

X2 and there is a controller of sorts at least on the Ranger that sometimes goes bad too. It is a small box located inside the cab and plugged into the wiring harness.

While installing a stereo I accidentally ran a screw through the floor and into the wire harness going to the trans case :mad3: Push button stopped working. After some head scratching I pulled out the screw and all ok now... :)

ok sounds good so i guess the majority rule is that he needs a new motor for it ill try this and see

This is a guess but heres how the explore one is...Yours might be the same or similar

Hit it too hard and you'll shatter the magnets in the motor housing, then it'll never work again for sure.

I'd take it apart and clean it. Even if tapping did work, cleaning & rebuilding it will make it work even better.

A manual t-case swap would certainly work the best by far however.

well he took it out and hit the button and the motor worked but it doesnt work when u bolt it back to the transfer case... buti can engage the transfer case by hand.... should i try a new motor ? or how do u align it ?
