4x4 switch

If you don't want advice or ideas, then don't post your problems seeking solutions. Your the one bragging about messing with a new truck that is under warantee.

 

I would suggest rereading my first post I know the thing is broken if I did not have to drive the truck I would have been glad to have them come fetch it how ever life does not all ways work out the way we like I am afraid towing a 1 ton trailer 300 miles with my VW was out of the question. If it was stuck in 4 wheel low the story would have been different. The only reason I even posted it I thought it may have been of interest to others because it 's kind of bazaar and when it if repaired I will post the results.

 

ok i took truck to dealer they couldnt find anything wrong however they said the speed sensors on rear were putting out faulty codes AND that they could cause the 4 wheel drive not to work , well its doing it again IS that true about the sensors ? they didnt charge me anything , but its almost 1000 dollars to fix sensors no way man need help what do you think?

 

I know where you can get that LED board if you want to see that new switch at night!!

 

that has absolutley nothing to do with what im talking about but thanks anyway lol!!!!

 

Yeah i knew that!

 

Ok first replacing sesor should be quick and easy. should not cost $1000, you can do that on your own driveway, but I doubt the system would not allow 4x4 due to bad speed sensor. You can always try cleaning the sensor first and see if that helps.
Also you can use heater relay to test 4x4 and bypass 4wd computer for it. Steps are in FSM

EDIT: but the proper way is to test for power when the switch is in 4wd position.

 

If it had sensor problems seems like it would throw a ABS code.

 

Get use to it about once a month I have to get a buddy with a FORD to pull me out because mine wont lock into 4x4. I am still trying to buy that old ford. Its got sticks no buttons no round knobs and always works.

 

You're doing it wrong ^^^

 

yea im going to do it its easy i looked at em but i just dont know how the sensors would affect it either

 

im not going to get used to it were i live come this winter time im going to be screwed.. ill get rid of this dam truck first

 

yea it would but it dont

 

Before you replace anything I would test 4wd computer and see if you can get system to lock up through relay. Its simple test and it will tell you if you have problem with actuators or 4wd computer.

 

please tell me how?

 

Here you go

 

thanks a bunch will do.

 

Speed sensors on a 2005 Tacoma???

 

UPDATE......so i tested all the plugs that bluet sent me and everything checked out normal so i banged on the actuator with a hammer and it starts working now everytime it quits working i just bang on actuator with hammer and wala .... so i cut a hole in the floorboard and can smack it when im driving all good now
