4x4 problems

i have a 2005 tacoma and a while back 4x4 stopped working the 4lo light is constantly flashing in the dash no it’s not locked in anything or i wouldn’t drive it but it won’t lock in or stop flashing it’s got a new shift solenoid/motor on the front diff (replaced because a stick busted the plastic case) new interior switch, even was told motor on back of transfer case replaced it didn’t work so sent it back if it helps any it’s lifted and a 6 speed manual 4.0

 

If you really want to find the problem, you need to do some work.
The link below WILL get you to the problem.
Good luck

Just to be clear, on the manual transmission, you have to be stopped or going under 3mph (I think) and have the clutch completely depressed, to transfer in and out of 4LO.

 

for 4lo it’s like neutral clutch in and a brake in but the light is constantly flash when trying to go in 4x4 and just cruising

 

It's actually just clutch in and truck under 3 mph for a manual but the 4wd ECU will beep if conditions aren't correct for a shift, if you just have a flashing 4lo light you most likely have a limit switch out of range, or an open/shorted wire. the only way to see which limit switch circuit is out of range is to check the voltages at the 4wd ECU as outlined in the thread that @TnShooter posted above.

 

Can you get into 4H?

 

Can’t get it into anything

 

My transfer case was stuck in neutral and then 4L. I provided the shift rod with some encouragement. See here.

Does anyone know anything about transfer case motor “timing”??

 

Best I can do is what I already have posted here and this thread, beyond that it's kinda trial and error.
If I ever have to pull mine or another one I'll try to do a better explanation of how to time it properly.

 

Everything I see is where the timing marks are but nothing about how to put it together right

 

Basically you want to get the contacts on the gear lined up with where the line is on the cover depending on the position of the transfer case shift rod (2H (fully in), 4H (1 click out), or 4L (fully out)).

 

I’ll try that as soon as I get a free second from work thank you

 

I would also say it may be worth taking your two limit switches on the transfer case out and cleaning them...ensure the little balls on the ends move back and forth freely and then reinstall.
