Transfer case motor??
I have a 98 Expedition with 215k miles. Yesterday I was driving on the freeway when if felt like the transmission slipped into neutral. I pulled off the road and tried to get it to engage by changing the gears from reverse to drive a few times but I got nothing. The engine seemed to run fine but I couldn't move at all. When I put it in "park" it made a loud grinding noise. I had it towed to a local shop and this morning they told me the transfer case motor is bad and needs to be replaced. Does that make sense? I thought the transfer case motor only moved when you changed in and out of 4WD. How would the TC motor be a problem when I'm just driving along in 2WD?
On a side note, the shop said they got it to move for a little while but it was stuck in a low gear. Now it's back to not moving at all.
The TC motor would be an easy fix but I'm not convinced this is the problem. They want to charge $150 to fix it but I'd rather not pay that if it's not the problem.
