98 4wd electronic transfer case problems clicking noises

[eliottcoyle]

hey i have a 98 ford ranger 4wd, 4.0 V6, off road package, automatic. I just put a 3 inch PA body lift on. The 4wd was working fine before the lift. Now that i have finished its not working. I replaced the hubs with avm manual. Everytime i try to turn to 4wd i hear a single click followed by multiple clicking noises. Then 4wd lights start flashing. I can hear a clicking noise in the engine. I went through my manual and replaced all the relays relating to 4wd. I have unplugged and replugged the 4wd wire loom located on the transfer case. That was the only thing i disconnected for the body lift that had anything to do with the 4wd. I can't think of anything else becasue it was working fine before the lift. I also couldnt see any wire or hoses that might have been pinched. Any help would be great !

I dunno how you posted this in the Trucks! TV show forum, but I'll move it for you..

The clicks you hear are good news.
Means the Control Module is still working.

I suspect your shift motor failed and the diagnostics are in the Tech Library.
