I’m am having the same issue pulled my old motor did your test my motor is turning like yours the issue I have bought 2 motors and it one was stuck in low on the newer one is stuck in 2 wheel if you have more information around this I would be forever greatful
My 1998 F150 was stuck in 4L. When I tested the motor, it worked fine (full motion both ways), but the replacement motor still fixed the problem. I busted open the original Borg Warner switch and the circular contact plate looked nasty (as did the contact fingers). I suspect the motor was fine on the old switch, but the electrical contacts were borked.
Interesting, I didn’t know exactly how the electronic transfer case switch worked. Can’t wait to see what you find on your new gold claims, that place looks promising.
Why did'nt Ford just keep the floor lever for 4-WD ??? Old School is Best!!! What's so terrible about having to reach down to the floor and Pulling a Lever ??? My 2010 Silverado has a Proper 4-WD FLOOR SHIFTER. Ford Tuff 🤔 Not with this
It's hard to beat the old fashioned cable....
As always, informative. Hope to see that 8.8 under the Jeep soon.
That for a borg warner? It looks exactly like the ohe for my 97 explorer

The motor might be weak, love the video.
There's a seal (red) between the switch & gear housing so maybe it's corrosion affecting contacts... can you get the switch portion apart?
No that part is sealed

Is there a manual conversion kit to replace the electric motor available?
The amount of fabrication needed and reprogramming it wouldn’t be feasible
WTF? Looks like it works fine.
It did didn’t it

Ford can't charge you $250 for a cable or a couple heim joints...

And when you're paying $100,000 for a new truck, I believe customers want the 4x4 to engage itself nowadays. Convince comes at a cost, always!
