Ok- here is one that has me stumped.... 4x4 would engage when you would only turn the key half way. I did some research, pointed to the encoder motor or sensor..... Since I was down there, I decided to put a new front diff. actuator in. I replaced the encoder motor sensor. Encoder motor works fine. Locks the front drive shaft in when any of the 4hi or 4lo is selected. You can also hear it clunking in the transfer case. Front diff. actuator is spinning like it should.
So I go out to check it. I find some snow. Enough to make the back tires spin, which should then make the front end grab... < Correct? Well, it's not grabbing at all. The rear tires just spin and the front does nothing. The transfer case does go into 4lo also... I made sure it was not just "lighting" the 4lo, I drove it in 4lo..... Again, front drive shaft is also locking up when 4hi or lo is selected..... SOOOOO, what could be the issue?
