ok so about a month and a half ago i drove down to las vegas from boise idaho, and when i got down there i went to go do some trail riding and the 4x4 wouldn't work so the next day i took the necessary step to try to fix it and...... NOTHING WORKED !!!!!!!!!!!!1 so about after im there for 2 weeks it starts to work randomly again, so im like what the hell!?!?!?!? so after im in vegas a while i decide to go go back to idaho, i finally make it back and then my 4x4 does the same thing and wouldn't turn on again , no 4x4 indicator light, no noise came from the TC or anything. it started working again a couple days ago, but what the hell would cause the 4x4 to just stop working and then somehow start working again?

any thoughts,ideas, are all appreciated
thanks-:icon_thumby:

Its either your computer or the tcase motor. Next time it does that unbolt the motor and manually (with a set of vise grips) turn it into 4wd.

Another one of them stupid bot, spammer thingys? In the tech section of the main page is all the transfer case info you will need to get it running again. It most likely needs cleaned. The intermittent workigns is the motor beginning to build up too much carbon. I would guess anyways.
