It doesn't matter what position it is in when you remove it, you can manually switch it to whatever position the motor is in before you install it.

I tested my new transfer case motor before I installed it - the light popped on. So... 15 minutes later, Stinky's in 4X4 in the driveway. Don't buy a Dorman part - get reman or OEM. I bought mine at the shamrock auto parts store. I'm not putting anything expensive or shiny under there - they started salting our roads in the winter a few years back.

I did electrical tests before I called mine dead. There is supposed to be a winding for forward and one for reverse (in/out of 4X4), and my forward winding read open. The transfer case motor will make the light on the dash not work and it will throw a code. The ESOF hub locks give no indication when they fail... other than slip and slide.

So i get no code what so ever, only code i get is for my glow plug relay which i have on a switch. but the only thing i know is if i lock my hubs and turn the dial to 4 hi nothing happens. no light comes on the dash. but what youre saying is it'll make a noise when it's trying to engage?

Take the motor off the tcase and see if it turns when you flip the switch.
