2004 Expy 4wd does nothing!

[JAG63]

Hello everyone, i just bought a 2004 Expy EB. when i start the truck i do not get any 4wd lights on the dash and when i move the selector switch i do not hear any clicking. has anyone else had this problem? shift motor looks new, switch in dash looks new, hub actuator under hood is new. could it be the transfer case module on the drivers side door pillar? thanks any and all help is greatly appreciated, i really do not want to take it to the stealership

get your alternator checked...

get your alternator checked...

seriously? truck runs great lights never dim and battery is brand new cranks strong?

I don't think it would be the alternator personally. Have you checked the 4wd fuses? May as well start simple.

 

[JAG63]

yes checked the 3 fuses 2 mini and one bus fuse

Next I would check the IWE solenoid. It has a problem with getting rain in it and shorting out.

 

[JAG63]

i changed it with a brand new one with the rain hat on it to keep water out

So I Called FOrd The Part Number On My 4X4 Module Does Not Interchange With The Part Number My Expedition Requires According To My Vin Number. Does Anyone Know Anything About These Modules? I See That They Are Made My Motorola............ Great. Thanks Joe

I have a 1997. It would only switch to AWD. I disconnect the battery to work on another issue and when I connected the battery again, it worked. I checked the motor, fuses, relays and could not figure out what was wrong. I asked it why it wasn't working and told it there was nothing wrong. It listened and worked.

Disconnected The Battery FoR Half HOur Still No Help, Thanks Though

So since someone already changed the 4x4 module i am leaning toward a broken wire, I'll check it out this weekend

 

[JAG63]

yeah i dont see any wear on any of the wires, any ideas anyone?

 

[Copper93]

I don't know if it is the same on the 2004 but my 1997 has a GEM, Generic Electronic Module, on the back of the fuse box. It controls the 4wd system. The connectors can corrode and cause problems.
What does the Ford gem do

 

[JAG63]

in 2004 Ford did away with the GEM and put in the 4x4 module on the drivers side b pillar, thanks for trying though

 

[JAG63]

Well going to the junk yard tomorrow, i hope they have the 4x4 control module. If they do and it still doesn't work looks like a trip to the dealership

 

[JAG63]

went to the junk yard got the module changed it and no different, also disconnected the battery for 6 hours no help either, i have an appointment at the dealers monday hope they can find the problem.

Has to be a broken wire, any thoughts anyone?

Do you have access to a digital multi meter?

I would check for voltage at the switch then the module...

[JAG63]
