Hi Ray, Electronics guy here. I noticed on the diagrams that the motor wires go directly to the control box. Connect your meter leads to the "motor" pins on the control box and check for power as you are selecting 2 or 4 wheel drive. The polarity should change depending on engaging or disengagement. It appears that the limit switches on the motor drive, apply a ground to the control box. Check the pins of the respective switch contacts for a high or low depending on transmission selection. You could also disconnect control box and apply power to the motor contacts. Think power windows, same concept, you should hear the motor operate. Anyways, good luck and thanks for the musings of a mechanic.

At 70 and retired, the wife unit and I enjoy your daily videos. I also have a 2014 Ram 1500 that had the dry spline issue on the drive shaft. That also went smoothly but was surprised that the splines were about 24" long. I indexed the flange and the splines so it went back in the exact orientation that it came off. Cleaned what grease was there, re-greased and repair is complete. You were correct about not having to remove the complete shaft for this repair. Hydraulic jacks and jack stands were used.

Ray, I have A 2004 Tundra Double Cab 4x4 and A 2006 Sequoia 4x4 and Toyotas are known for 4x4 actuator problems coming for not using them regularly. The grease on the contacts inside the actuators will harden up and keep the contacts from making a good connection. My 2006 Sequoia had problems and I took the front actuator off and cleaned the old, hardened grease off and put new grease in it and all was well. Now about once per month I will activate the 4x4 and the 4LO also and drive them a short distance to keep the 4x4 system working. There may even be something about this in the owner's manual.

A test light is a better way to check a circuit- 1. You can see if the light lights- don't have to look away toward your meter. 2. A multimeter will show voltage even if the circuit is not complete- a test light proves the circuit can carry a load. You can test the plug on the front diff to see if you are getting a signal to the motor from the ECU. If you are getting signal and the diff is not locking, then you know it's in the diff motor.
