THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR:

I put it back on the transfer case and it worked just like it should.
BTW- Someone should write up a post about how easy it is to clean these shift motors. There really is NOTHING to it. Even an amateur could do it. And as for the three wires that go into the transfer case(sensor IDs and magnetic clutch feed), everyone should know that they DON'T have to be cut and spliced. There is a red lock(a plastic piece around the center pin) in the connector that can be pulled out with a pick of some kind that will allow the pins to be released with a screwdriver. But anyway, thanks again.

This is my first posting and am hoping that someone can help. I have a 2002 diesel excursion. Once last week as I parked and locked the truck with the key fob, the alarm went off. after some fideling, open close doors, start ignition, close and open doors again, lock and unlock, etc, aftrer about 5 moinutes I got it to stop, not sure exactly how.
Then last night as I returned home it happened again this time just when I closed the door, but did not lock it. Nothing I did could shut it off till I removed both battery cables.
Any Ideas?
