Transfer Case Shift Motor - Connection/Maybe?

This is a 2002 Excursion. The transfer stopped shifting into 4wd. I unplugged the two wire connection to the motor and plugged it back in and it began to work. A couple of hours later I tried again, same problem and same solution. The connections APPEAR fine. The voltage to the 2 wire connector seems consistent. If I swap between 4Hi and 4Low I see a 12V signal to the motor.

I really need to be able to reliably shift between 2 and 4wd for the next week or so. Even if I have to crawl under there and do it manually. Can I remove the motor and leave it off to shift it? It will only be on the road.


Also, How do you remove the multi-pin wire on the tcase? I slid the red keeper back (it is a keeper isn't it) but the connector still didn't seem to want to come out.

Thanks for any info.

It might be as simple as disconnecting the plug at the motor and taking a pair of long nose pliers and just twisting the pins a hair. Just enough to take care of any gap between female plug and male pin.
