having problems with my 4wheel drive not disengaging,any ideas thanks

 

Did you post this in the 1997 - 2003 F150 forum? I would think you would get a quicker response there.

If I remember correctly your system have a switch on the dash which can cause problems with engaging/disengaging same thing with the front disconnect unit. How those work and how you troubleshoot them I am not aware of. Hopefully someone else will come along and can shed more light on your issue than I can. Good luck to you!!

 

thanks for the info,mine has the shifter on floor im going to crawl under to check out

 

Those can bind or the linkage can come out of adjustment preventing you from getting it out of 4x4. Hopefully it is the linkage on the outside of the transfer case giving you issues instead of the linkage inside.

Let us know what you find out and good luck with it!!

 

try backing up a short distance. sometimes that may disengage it

 

thanks for all the ideas, think i figure it out. there is a round sleeve with a arm that goes in and out think its sticking.thanks for answering my post

 

Let us know if you get it fixed or need additional help. Good luck!!

 

thanks.ill see if i can get to it this weekend

 

just wanted to let you know what I found out about my 4x4 problem was. It is a electric solenoid that isnt disengaging,located up front

 

Glad to hear that you got it figured out.

 

times like this i'm glad i've got an older truck. not all those gizmo's that would drive me psycho
