Sometimes you have to go in reverse after being in 4wd to release the hubs and t case. Backing up 10 feet after turning off 4wd usually is enough to get everything back in order.
Just as you said the part is hard to find ( new ) so was this video. Great quality, audio, and total style. Thanks bud....its always nice when you have your own garage with lift.....thank you sir.
Thanks Brian, My SRVC 4WD light flashed on and off today on my '07 Nitro. Your video gave me the info I need if the light comes back on. I had an '08 6 Spd Manual Nitro that use to sound like a grenade going off when the transfer case slipped/popped!
Funny, it's called extreme green yet it's red. I am thinking of buying a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi with the service 4x4 light on. I looked up some stuff here and there in some jeep forums and apparently there is a N23 recall dealing with that issue. It's from not using the 4 wheel drive and that button gets stuck. I had heard also that pulling the e-diff fuse under the hood, driving around for about 10 minutes then replacing the fuse will shut off the light. I figure I could hummmm and hrmmmm him into thinking I might need to replace the transfer case or something scary and get 1500 off or something. heh heh heh Great vid as usual my friend.
Thanks buddy! Yeah, it's environmentally friendly and made from plants. I don't like the name at all, but I'm glad I know about it. The trans fluid stuff is red- all else is honey colored. Good to know. Thanks- great to see your smiling face in the comments! How've you been man?
That was some pretty good fixer-upper stuff there Brian. Off topic here but I got to spend a little time with D6spanky and I have to say, what a pleasure it was to meet her. I got called away to work so our time was short but my hope is to have another chance to be there and spend more time in your neck of the woods.
I am confused … Was the problem the actuator, or was it the selector switch in the dash that was actually the problem ???. it sounded like you said that you probably didn't even have to change the actuator. (or were you meaning that the problem was some type of relay switch within the actuator ?).
I know its an old comment but his actuator worked but when he put it in 2 wheek drive the transfer case stayed in 4 wheel drive- it was common on older 4x4 vehicles as the gears would be loaded together- it was common practice to stop put in 2 wheek drive back up slightly and then KNOW you were out of the 4 wheek drive mode as driving on pavement is generally tough on the transfer case( the tires dont all slpin ar the same rate look up differential creation on youtube theres an old gm video from like the 40s that explains this)
My grand Cherokee 2013 had the same issue and the solution was as simple as just update the software with the latest version. Now it feels like brand new and more power
I got a charger awd and once the transfer case control module died which is involved in talking to the axle actuator, i just wired a switch to the actuator directly, it just needs constant gnd and 12v ignition then one pin is for a ground engaged for awd on and remove for off, another pin is feedback to tell if engaged i guess.
For high pressure- yes. It's crazy good. I went from their biggest skeptic to singing in the choir in one trip to L.A. I use it all the time now. Used it yesterday in spray can form twice. It's the shiz-nit for lubricating anything screw drive like a ball joint press or strut spring compressor.

Hi Mate - great video and explanations - i am getting the message on 4WD service on my Jeep GC 2015 V8. Any suggestion on how to fix this without going into expensive dealer? What i have done so far: Scanning shows DTMC C1403-92 and ABS U0403-00. Removed battery for 5 - 10 minutes Removed Transfer Case Control Module under the driver seat and placed it back for any lose connections. Added Transmission Fluid at 100K, now the jeep is 120K, issue started now at around 120K. Should i need to fix in following order: Change Differential Fluid? 75w85? Change Transfer Case Fluid? ATF+4? Change the Transfer Case Control Module itself? (under driver seat)? Check wheel sensor? ..... What would be the best sequence to troubleshoot? really appreciate your suggestion mate.

My 2006 dakota 4.7 4x4 when I go around 55-65 mph tries to enter the 4LO by itself without me moving anything, it does not go in, it just makes the noise, turns on the 4LO light on the dash and turns off immediately. This he does not always do, but he usually does. My mechanic says that the actuator is working fine, because it does its job. Any idea what it could be?
A very quick and easy fix for this is when it is in 2wd, remove the small white fuse (closest to the firewall), Problem solved. (Reinsert fuse to engage 4wd then remove it again).
@@johnkellum7390 No, but i am sure there is a fuse box diagram in the owners manual. I believe It is a very small, single 2 amp fuse, at the end of the rows of multiple larger fuses.

My 2008 dodge ram kicks into 4-wheel drive driving down highway or when I start it in my drive way. Replaced front end actuator, servo motor, switch and had in shop. Still is not resolved. Help!??
A light on my dash reading 4wd and the truck was in 2 wheel drive when I stop makes a conlooping sound. I can drive in 4 wheels (fire stone check it and said the truck doesn't know what greer it's in. I am driving in 4 wheel drive not with out problems. the transmission is new 2017. warranty gone. help ? where is the transfer case shift motor in a 1995 toyota 4 runner v6?
Squirrels got into my engine bay over night on my 2017 Jeep Renegade Sport in the morning the 4-wheel drive was disabled traction control was disabled power fluctuations were happening local mechanic could not figure it out any ideas
Sometimes that doesn't work though. One time my friend and I went salmon fishing down at a river. It was about 100 miles from home and we had to go mud bogging in 4 low just to get to the spot. It got stuck in 4 low. Tried everything to get it back to 2 HI. Back up forwards slam on the brakes,back up,stick it in Neutral. Busted out the owners booklet. Finally I went under the truck laying on the floor mats with hip waders and a rain coat on trying to not get all soaking wet and muddy. Tapped on the transfer case motor with a rock. That worked, it went back to 2 HI and we made it home. My Explorer has gotten stuck in 4x4 also. I replaced the switch and the motor. I make sure to use it once in a while. I use it about once a month. Haven't had any problems since I started doing that about a year ago.
Some are supposed to have gear oil or motor oil or whatever NP calls for. Just don't use the factory blue GM stuff when that's called for without some kind of HP modifier and even then us ATF instead.
I had a bare spot on two of the wires going to my transfer case. Fixed my service 4wd code so check for shorts before you take your truck to a mechanic and save some money.
Do you think maybe being off the ground with no resistance from the wheels kept it in 4wd? Can you believe the price! Really? For that cheap made thing. Looks like an after market manual 4wd lever is in order
It could be for sure, but it was a hot mess on the ground too. As I said the light would come on and stay on and the 4wd would be supper intermittent and not come on at all that last day. I was positive something snapped, but never found the proof.
I thought the 4WD was made in to the transmission but I guess this one has a 4WD mechanism motor with that piston coming out and going into the transmission and pushing that cluch inside to make all the weels move to 4WD
"Selectable" or "on the fly" is usually an electro-mechanical switchable device, whereas "locking hubs" are usually manually operated twist actuators that engage 4x4. Not every 4x4 vehicle uses a transfer case. Most AWD setups are transmission based, without any outside 3rd unit.
Lets clear this up a little. If you have a front wheel drive that has a 4WD option, then you *might* not have an external transfer case. If you have a RWD 4WD, then you have to have an external transfer case. That being said, even when it's bolted directly to the transmission, I've never not seen a transfer case on an AWD/4WD vehicle. Please provide an example of a 4WD without a transfer case.
Shifting from 2wd and 4wd high (which is all this has) while the front and read wheels are going the same speed it's okay. On the lift you should be stopped regardless of neutral or not. It's more about gear and driveshaft speeds than anything.
Hi there, I have a 2011 liberty and my serv 4wh light stays on all the time and my selection switch feels weak. I’m asking where should I attack first. Please someone please help
*@**4:15* Evidently not, because if it were- it theoretically wouldn't jam? NPG is 50 miles from my house. It's part of the old Carrier factory that nearly killed the area when it all went to Mexico and China. Powdered gears are such hyped garbage, cheap excuse. Notice- every dab of worthless grease isn't even where it should be? Mass Slave labor produced junk. What a shame.
@briansmobile1. This 2010 Patriot I have, the 4WD! light would come on right around the 1-Mile at every startup. However today, I hit a chuckhole sorta hard & when I got home, [4 miles] the light still didn't come on. Although I've fixed 2 grounding pigtails under the hood in the engine compartment, there still must be a bad ground somewhere else. Gee these Patriots with their cheap wiring, poor engineering and not being made for the rust belt states sorta sucks... I've managed ti fix all the other warning lights that were staying on, just this one light left... Have you ever heard of this issue before, or dealt with it? Thx, good video too..
You don't know much do ya? ALL automakers use the very same parts suppliers and to save costs even the very same parts. The NV transfer case is used by many manufacturers. NV..New Venture used to be called New Process which made A833 Hemi 4 speeds...unbreakable! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Venture_Gear
Guy knows nothing about transfer cases and posts a repair video of him just spraying lubricant all over the pin as the fix lmao 😂 Watch this for a laugh not for advice on repairing your vehicle.

"Selectable" or "on the fly" is usually an electro-mechanical switchable device, whereas "locking hubs" are usually manually operated twist actuators that engage 4x4. Not every 4x4 vehicle uses a transfer case. Most AWD setups are transmission based, without any outside 3rd unit.
Lets clear this up a little. If you have a front wheel drive that has a 4WD option, then you *might* not have an external transfer case. If you have a RWD 4WD, then you have to have an external transfer case. That being said, even when it's bolted directly to the transmission, I've never not seen a transfer case on an AWD/4WD vehicle. Please provide an example of a 4WD without a transfer case.
Need to shift to neutral to go outta 4wd.
don't you have to be in neutral when engaging and disengaging 4wd
Shifting from 2wd and 4wd high (which is all this has) while the front and read wheels are going the same speed it's okay. On the lift you should be stopped regardless of neutral or not. It's more about gear and driveshaft speeds than anything.
Only when going to 4 low
Mine needs to be in reverse or it won't shift
Edit: for 4low that is
Thanks for sticking your finger in there...I was scared to see someone loose there finger
Hi there, I have a 2011 liberty and my serv 4wh light stays on all the time and my selection switch feels weak. I’m asking where should I attack first. Please someone please help
Zac Sent me here so Hi!
Hey Hans! Welcome!
*@**4:15* Evidently not, because if it were- it theoretically wouldn't jam? NPG is 50 miles from my house. It's part of the old Carrier factory that nearly killed the area when it all went to Mexico and China. Powdered gears are such hyped garbage, cheap excuse. Notice- every dab of worthless grease isn't even where it should be? Mass Slave labor produced junk. What a shame.
wow
Damn I’d never stick my finger in something that’s moving or on.
cause youre ignorant
I did some testing first. That's actually smart. Machines give a better 1" punch than most any ninja can.
Make a video with my 06 Jeep Commander 5.7hemi how to fix 4wd service.. xD
Jeep has a software fix for that problem. Take it to a dealer and have them do the software upgrade for free.
I’m stuck in 4 wheel drive
Geez that’s a .50cent Chinese motor inside there. Ugh too complicated
I wish. It's from the Philippines and it costs about $400.
briansmobile1 damn... is there a mechanical convention for something like an e brake to pull it in?
@briansmobile1. This 2010 Patriot I have, the 4WD! light would come on right around the 1-Mile at every startup. However today, I hit a chuckhole sorta hard & when I got home, [4 miles] the light still didn't come on. Although I've fixed 2 grounding pigtails under the hood in the engine compartment, there still must be a bad ground somewhere else. Gee these Patriots with their cheap wiring, poor engineering and not being made for the rust belt states sorta sucks...
I've managed ti fix all the other warning lights that were staying on, just this one light left... Have you ever heard of this issue before, or dealt with it? Thx, good video too..
Didnt your mom ever tell you not to put your finger in holes in case it gets stuck?
Me serviría mucho sí fuera en español una lastima no saber ingles 🙁
Ojalá supiera mejor el español o tuviera un traductor.
@@briansmobile1 gracias por tu aportación, mi amigo habla y entiende muy bien inglés el me ayudara a traducirmelo
Cheaply made yet expensive Chrysler crap parts. That’s ridiculous
'06 town'n'country sheet metal (+) battery terminal, 2 piece, only cost $40. That's not bad : )
You don't know much do ya? ALL automakers use the very same parts suppliers and to save costs even the very same parts. The NV transfer case is used by many manufacturers. NV..New Venture used to be called New Process which made A833 Hemi 4 speeds...unbreakable! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Venture_Gear
Dang it! Sorry to hear you had to spend the $400.
Thanks- it was worth it to get it going and reliable anyway.
Mecano motor that switches from 2wd to 4wd 😬
That piece was $400.00 - I figured about $150 to to $200 - way off
You and me both!
I have my car 2014 Chrysler 300 when i drive show me service all wheel drive
Go to the junkyard
Mecanico
Why is he touching it with dirty gloves
Beep
Guy knows nothing about transfer cases and posts a repair video of him just spraying lubricant all over the pin as the fix lmao 😂
Watch this for a laugh not for advice on repairing your vehicle.
Make a video then
Thank you
Mecanico
