03 F-350 no 4wd action at all, bad module? Should dash lights go on with key?
So I buy this 03 F-350 with shift on the fly 4WD knowing nothing happens when I turn the 4WD switch. I found the transfer case motor was bad (open), replaced that but still nothing. I measured voltage to the control module at the connector pins and those seems to be ok. Tested selection switch and that seems to be ok. I grounded pins at module to light the 4x4 and Low Range dash lights and they work ok. I tested the transfer case control relays and also was able to click them grounding the module connector pins. I didn't try that test with the new transfer case motor plugged in yet. I didn't want to mess anything up or get it stuck in neutral somehow.
About all that is left is bad control module?
The manual says the two 4x4/Low Range dash lights should come on with the key on as a bulb test? Can anyone confirm that? Mine don't so I assume that points even more to the module?
I just want to make as sure as possible before I drop $300.
Anyone have a good recommendation of where to buy that module?
Thanks,
Larry
