transfer case not engageing

just replaced m5r1 5 speed and new clutch. everything is working fine except that no 4 high or 4 low. both lights will flash 5 to 6 times at start up and while driving down the road. of course its electronic control. maybe control module bad? any ideas?

Electric shift motor, it's the most common problem with the push button t-cases other than the vacume hubs. Try cleaning it first and see if that helps.

If your truck is a '98 (why make us guess?), it would be worthwhile to check all the fuses related to the 4WD system (#s 9, 10, 26, and 27 in the interior cab fuse box, and also fuse # 3 located in the power distribution box under the hood).

Right on, good to hear you found out what the problem was. If you 'new one' is actually a used one from another truck, may consider cleaning that bad boy before you bolt 'er back in, to prevent future problemos. But, if you got a new factory model, good on ya! I hear those things usually go for a lot more these days.

99% of the time it is the shift motor except for the 98-2000, then 90% of the time it's the pulse vacume hubs.
