I’m a 40 year Factory Trained Master Tech myself (different car lines) and I have to say that this is the guy to watch if you have Ford repair questions. His approach to his work is top notch and he doesn’t talk too much and make things complicated. Straight forward good advice and technique. Like I said, I’ve been doing this for a long time and when I want information on my Fords before I tackle something I check this channel first. Thank you FordTechMakuloco for all your videos.

[@EricGonzo1023]

Excellent info and guide to do this replacement. Replaced it my 2011 F150 Lariat with 260K mile. I found two things to add. 1-My new motor/actuator had weak plastic for the cable retention clips (in fact one side of it BROKE when inserting into the tab). I re-used the one from my prior motor/actuator and also zip tied it for extra security. (Would hate for it to dangle and get hung up on something and rip the cable). 2-I found that inserting the separate "Blue" wire BEFORE re-inserting the red retainer clip into the new shift motor makes inserting the blue wire into the connector MUCH EASIER. Thanks so much for the video and excellent guidance. What a low cost fix for something that I thought was going to be a major dealer item.

[@turf7empest]

009to090 I understand but I need to be able to switch in between frequently without stopping.

[@zmodem4619]

Great video! I have an '04 F350 4x4 (6.0). I just gotta share this fun ride. First, I'd like to note that I _have not_ solved my issue. I thought this t-case motor going bad was my issue when my 4x4 wouldn't engage (the light wouldn't even come on on the dash when I selected 4-hi or 4-lo). Anyhow, I replaced the motor, and turned the truck on and tested it and VOILA, it seemed to work. Well, the plot thickens. Now, if I turn the truck on and immediately select 4, I can get it into 4 hi or lo, and hear the t-case motor engaging. But, if I drive it long enough in 4x, and then decide to put it back in 2, it will not shift back into 2 no matter what (fully stopped, in either neutral or park). Vacuum line fills, and doesn't turn on or off intermittently, and the vac line seems good. Setting the hubs to either auto or manual works fine after I engage 4x with the internal switch/through the t-case, so I'm getting vacuum on auto, and good lock on manual from the hubs. So, I found out that I have to turn the truck off and then back on in order to have the actuation take place. If I'm driving for a while on the highway and decide to pull off somewhere that requires 4x4, I need to pull over, completely turn off the truck, then turn it back on (ON only, or cranking it over) before I can switch over. Same goes for being in 4x: I need to stop, turn the truck off, then turn it back on in order to disengage. Strange. All of my fuses are fine under the dash, and the relays under the hood are brand new and they switch when I test them manually with a test light. Go figure, I'm stumped, and three shops have been stumped as well lol. Meh, turning the truck off and back on is no big deal at this point, but it's a mystery to be sure.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

Interesting. My F150 is now stuck in 4 low. Pulled a stump out and now it won't switch. Dash doesn't light up 4 high or 4 low anymore either

[@zmodem4619]

@@MeltingRubberZ28 Wow! Yours sounds like a seized T-Case, but if the dash light turned off, that means the relay is telling the computer that the T-Case is in the correct position. I finally solved my issue, it was a loose connection AT the T-Case motor. When the truck would get "hot", the terminals would expand and slide away from contact. When it cooled off, the terminals would shrink and make decent enough contact for the relay to talk to the T-Case, and vice-versa. Your issue could be hub & or vacuum related. Check for vacuum leaks. Jack up the front, check to see if your hubs are locked by spinning the tires. See if the front shaft spins freely or if it's locked. If the hubs are locked, then you know it's a hub/vac leak (usually manually unlocking them will work, or you can unplug the vac from the reservoir near the vacuum pump on the passenger side to remove all vac pressure). The light not being on is why I aim the solutions more toward a hub seize, or a vacuum issue. The light is controlled by the computer, which gets its information directly from the relay sent from the T-Case. You could check the two relays under the hood on the driver side. They are two identical black relay switches (almost perfect black squares) under a black plastic cap which looks rectangular. They sit near either the driver side battery, or more toward the driver side firewall (around the outer edge of the DEGAS/coolant overflow bottle). Check the relays, or swap them, and see which one is bad. Good luck!

[@do201]

Thanks for the video. It makes it very easy to do the job. I was able to align the spline of the transfer case to the new motor by plugging the motor in and turning the 4 wheel hi/low switch. You may have to start the engine to get the motor to turn. Anyway I'm back in business.

I actually had two faults one day, it was weird. I had this code and proved the shift motor to be bad, but when it was done 4WD still didn't work. It ended up being two faults, turns out the shift position signal return wire to the TCCM was broken as well. Replaced the harness up to the RF fender and a new shift motor.

$250 does not seem that bad to me. I just watched a guy with a new dodge cummins at 54k miles get told by dodge that his PCM was bad, cost = $3900 just for the part. This was on top of 15 hours diag time plus they replaced a EGR valve that was $750 and it did not fix the problem. Warranty ran out at 50k miles. Plus this ford job was easy peasy, I probably would have tore that motor apart before I bought a new one to see if I could fix it because I am frugal.

[@xtremegamer2218]

I don't even know if my 2006 F-150 XLT 4x4 is even engaging into either 4 hi or 4 low. It's the first vehicle I have that has 4x4, so I don't even know what it feels. One time when our yard was muddy, I had the truck set in 2 hi, and of course, would not move. So I switch it to 4 hi to see if I could get unstuck, I didn't hear a sound when switching, and when I tried moving, it felt as if I was still in 2 hi. It did show that 4 hi was engaged on the dash. So then I put it in neutral, switch to 4 low, I hear a clunk like I think it should, and I step on the gas a little bit, and it feels more torque like it should, but when I tried moving, it felt like only the rear wheels were spinning. One time when I was in a parking lot, I was turning and I could hear the front tires screeching when I was turning into a parking space. I switch to 4 hi and back to 2 hi, and when I turned again, there was no screeching. I feel like the differentials in the front and rear lock on their own. Sometimes when I turn onto a road, I can hear one of the tires in the rear dragging as if I had the rear diff locked. So I don't know what's up or what the problem is. I've had this truck for almost two years now and I don't even know if 4x4 works. I don't see uneven wear on the tires, it still has about the same amount of tread since the day I got it. But these problems aren't constant, and only happen once in a while.

Seems to me, if you couldn't jack it, you could plug in the motor, and it should index to whatever state the transfer case was in when it died. If needs be, move the 4X4 selector switch to the desired position to have the motor match the transfer case spline. Seems a LOT easier than jacking up the truck.

Just a thought, maybe this might work or not, you let us know Brian. If the new motor doesn’t line up with the shaft (due to not being in 2 High when the motor failed). Instead of turning the shaft by hand if it was stuck in 4x4 H or L, couldn’t you just hook up the wires to the new motor, and turn your 4x4 selector inside the truck until the motor lines up? Or would that cause any problems? Maybe works? Might be easier than turning by hand if drive line was loaded?

[@lambition]

That failed on my father's 2002 F350, but without any code. The motor clicks few times on key on. The transfer case sometimes was shifted slightly to neutral preventing the truck from going forward or backward. When I put the transmission back into park, transmission made clicking sound (parking pin failing to engage) I mistook it as failing transmission, but it wasn't. I think what was happening is transfer case went into neutral and the transmission itself was spinning. Since there is no brake, the transmission was still spinning when the gear was shifted back into park causing it to not engage.

My first 4wd was a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, had a shift lever for 4wd. Never had a problem, why do manufactures mess with perfection, my F150 needed new hubs, now waiting for this repair.

The people who thumbs down Brian videos are miserable 🤣

BOO BIZZY and stupid

[@chadmoyer1453]

No. They just realized the truth...they don't have 4x4.

[@randywilliams4775]

Looks easy but I'll let you once I get at it. Just gotta wait for warmer weather because my truck doesn't fit in my garage.

Very , Very helpful! I would not suggest moving to California, however, wish you were here.

I hate that damn part. Went out on me all the time. The after market motors were absolutely unreliable. Have a Toyota now with a manual transfer case, I love it. Never fails

Big thumbs up 👍 Bought a 2002 Ford Exporter 4x4 Sport trac year & a half ago.

wow fantastic. youre a good teacher

My 94 explorer occasionally gets stuck in 2hi or 4x4. The motor still gets power but it jams up. I’ll knock it with a rubber mallet and that helps sometimes, but usually just unbolting the motor, turning the shaft, and re installing it frees it up.

While doing this you might also change your T/C oil. It won't ruin your finances at all and gives you peace of mind for the next year or so. 👍

Is there a way to test your transfer motor BEFORE buying a new one? Or is "NO 4x4 action felt" an obvious result of motor failure? Also, I found one on eBay for $57.60 / free shipping. Is that a risk? (I have a 1994 Explorer 4x4, 185k miles) I've answered my own question about an electrical bench test, see: Diag and Repair Transfer Case Motor: Mazda B4000/ Ford Ranger......
