Jimmy 4WD Shift Motor
Hey. I'm having a similar problem with my '98 Jimmy. The shift motor
can be removed on mine w/o removing the drive shaft but it is tight!!
The motor/gear case had a gob of RTV sealant inside that was interferring with the shift gear going to the 4Wlow position. I cleaned
it out and repaired a ground on one of the motor leads where it entered the gear case. Then you have to remove power to the controller to reset it-(I pulled the 50amp fuse under the hood.) It works fine now plugged in but unbolted to the case. At this point I think some damage was done to the transfer case meanwhile. (Shoot!) So tomorrow I'm going to remove it. (Once I removed the shift motor I was able to shift is with a wrench but it shifts real rough and it takes a lot of force too.) Good luch with yours. dp
