shift on the fly problem
Please i hope someone has had the same problem and knows how to fix it. My four wheel drive will not work with shift on the fly I have changed everything the switch on the dash the vac switch under the hood the relay switches the electric motor on the trasfercase. i can manually engage the hubs and they lock in i have even taken the electric motor off the transfer case tested it and it works fine. I took a wrench manually turned the shift *** on the trasfercase and the four wheel drive will work but electriclly it will not work. please help

Fixed the problem
It was after all the relay switches that it seems no one knows about under the hood. they are located on the drivers side in between the master cylinder and the fender there are two black boxes. the one closer two the master cylinder has two relay switches in there one makes the motor electric motor that switches the transfer case from two wheel drive to four high and then to four low. the other makes it go back from four low to four high then back to two wheel drive. So if someone has a problem with there transfer case not changing this is the problem it has nothing to do with the hubs thou. my vac to the hubs don't work but i can manually engage the hubs this is all i care about screw the electric shift ****. give me back the good old days of manual everything. everyone has got to lazy to get out and lock it in. If you can't get out to lock it in you don't need a 4X4.

i still don't have vacuum to the drivers side traced the line couldn't find anything. Even without the vacuum the hub shoudl still engage in the lock position correct ? Took it to a shop and they said the hubs were bad but i don't think they checked for anything vacuum related

It's already engages in the lock position but it would still go through the motions. There should be vac lines comining out of the top of both knuckles near the ABS lines if you have that.

yeah i have checked the vac lines the drivers side has nothing still trying to figure out the leak very hard to find.
the hubs should engage if the hub are locked in, and the 4x4 turned on correct ?
sorry i am just wondering if i don't have a bad hub and a vacuum leak. but i hope not
