4x4 problems

05 F350, transfer case engaging, hubs not engaging, did all the checks for leaks, nothing turned up, so eventually i traced it back to the solenoid on the pass side fender, it isnt activating. Does anyone know how to "bech test" the solenoid to see if it is working? What about the 3 wires that plug into it, what wires should have power and when?

I have the factory Ford service CD for 2005-2006 model years of the Super Duty's. As in this instance, I just pull up the appropriate section and save as a PDF and upload.

I have limited space and bandwidth and do not plan to do a "master" listing. If anybody has a section they need in a PDF, I am more than willing to help on a one on one basis. Just shoot me a board e-mail or PM.

Got mine off ebay. Some are the actual Ford dvd disc and some are just copies of it. They are actually time sensitive and expire after awhile. This was done so the dealers would actually use the most updated disc. The work around is to just reset your windows time back a couple of years and the disc work fine. Just have to remember and set the time/date back when done.
