On to the next problem... 4wd broke

[LEB Paul]

Yeah, its played out and not funny, but you set me up for it.. I had to do it.

So by that logic you'll probably want to get rid of your efan. Oh and if you've got any electronics in the cab such as power windows, door locks... Heck even the radio... You should probably remove that stuff and just put in crank windows and a bring a band with you to play live music, cuz the radio will probably fail.

Already have manual door locks and crank windows Chris.... Radio I don't play cause I'm already half deaf (long story)

I can live with electronics wth no problem as long as it's simplified. Ford done a good job with the TC motors by keeping them simple ad easy to repair/ replace. Me, I just prefer having the ability to mechanicaly engage/ disengage the TC and the hubs by hand if and when I need to.

Now I get to have fun and get wheel bearings for the truck and hope not to explain I have the "top hat" outers rather than the normal setup.....

 

[KdPate]

yea, my 100th post.....

Remove shifty motor clean everything . Move motor around while on shaft .

That does it, the gloves are off! :/

It's not the same thing when the radio fails as when the E-hubs or
E-transfer case fails tho, right?

Uhhhh...
Didn't somebody just mention a $400 tow charge because of E-hubs?

GELCO (General Electric Leasing) talked the SP into leasing pickups with
radios in them by giving them cheaper rates. The pickups SP had weren't
reselling worth anything because they didn't have a radio in them. LOL
Oh yeah...
And air conditioning too, we got air conditioning because of GELCO. LOL

Me?
I like my thoughts and special ordered my '75 without a steenkeen radio!
If someone else is with me the radio sure as hell wouldn't be on anyway.

The '91 Bronco will be stripped of some stuff too.
Like no steenkeen radio and no steenkeen antenna too.

The driver's-side door-lock is already out of there and the electric window
on the driver's-side will be swapped to manual. It'll be easier to pretend
I'm in a -BIG- truck that way! LOL

Does anybody know where to get a 4x4 module and is it a separate module by itself? I cant seem to find it at the autozone....

Now wait a gosh darned minute. I'm talkin about an electronic tcase not the auto hubs (which are not e-lectric by the way). The hubs are what left me stranded and I'll never trust auto hubs again. My electronic tcase, on the other hand, is still working great.

Does anybody know where to get a 4x4 module and is it a separate module by itself? I cant seem to find it at the autozone....

If you can't find it locally then try RockAuto.com or our site sponsor AutoAnything.com. Why are you trying to replace the 4x4 module? It doesn't sound to me like that's the problem.

Does anyone know of a thread for disassembling and cleaning the transfer case shift position switches? I think that may be my problem...

Even with all this trouble I still love my push button shift, wouldn't trade for manual shift if someone did it for me.

 

[LEB Paul]

Sorry if I contributed to side tracking your thread dreamison, wish I could give you some more help, but I don't know much on the specifics of this particular system.

They ain't? LOL
I own some but never used 'em and just fiNgured they were electric.
(since everything else on that Edweena-Bauer-thing seems to be
So sorry 'bout that.

My plan is to remove 'em and sell 'em along with the whole Dana44TTB.
How's that for throwing the baby out with the bathwater? LOL

I'm not exactly sure which switches you're talking about here. Can you be more specific? There's a motor on the transfer case the turns the cam to operate the tcase, then there is an electronic 4x4 module under the passenger kick panel in the cab, then there is the push button assembly on the dash for switching between 2hi-4hi-4lo.

 

[smokey]

there is a great write up over at serious explorations on how to disassemble and clean.

 

[dreamison]

The switches I'm talking about are the shift position sensor switches that tell the computer what position the transfer case is in. I think they are located in the shift motor themselves but I'm not sure.

Smokey, do you have a link to the write up? I will try and search for it. The problem I'm having seems to trace back to those switches or the vss or the neutral safety switch. I will have to check all of them. My speedo needle does bounce but I thought it was cable driven!?!?

I also found this link http://ylobronc.users.superford.org/documents/electric1356/elec1356.htm It's a great write up on how to trouble shoot the e-shift system with wiring diagrams and everything. Anyone with problem should check it out.

I'm happy to announce my 4 low works again. Turns out it was the speed sensor on the transfer case. Its a part a had to get from the dealer, but I had to have it. Hopefully it will last another 18 years.

Thanks for all the info...

Great post, I was gonna pick one of those up for my 95 F150, but decided to put it up for sale instead, and my Mountaineer is getting an AWD to Manual swap soon.
