4x4 problem

the problem is when i push the 4x4 switch nothing happens it just stays in 2 wheel drive and it doesn't even try to go into 4, but when i put the truck in neutral and push the button it trys to switch but doesn't, it will switch into 4 low though and then when you try to put it in 4 high it goes back to 2 wheel. it only trys to work when the truck is in neutral, not driving or in park. also when you push the button both the 4 high and 4 low buttons flash at the same time. anyone know what might be wrong?

Re: 4x4 problem

Search this forum for "encoder motor"...sounds like the culprit.

Re: 4x4 problem

Ayup, that would be my other guess according to previous posts. Couldn't remember the name ... Not too hard to change out I hear, just expensive parts. Search that one in here too, some good write ups on diagnosis.
