You are lucky to have a wife that can follow instructions EXACTLY as stated.
Applause 👏👏 for the assistant
I just wanna say good job on your explanations for the all wheel drive actuator and bless you and yours
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!
Very well filmed & explained
I like all your videos but I was hooked when I used the lawnmower rear end fix with torque tuff that saved me big time thanks
Welcome Randy!
LOL I made it as far as you separating the case and had to hit like lol brilliant "no going back now" its like I was doing it awesome thanks a laugh and the info I needed
Thank you my man
The upstairs helper (I'm assuming wife) is right on point. Much praise is in order!
Great video. You the man. Thanks for the help.
Welcome David!
@@briansmobile1 what would make a 03 dodge ram say to service soon 4x4
Interesting. I’m looking for info on the auto 4WD system on a Cherokee lalitude. New subscriber
Thank you
Hey, great video. I have a 2005 durango 4.7. It appears to have the same setup underneath. The question I have is that this durango has all wheel drive instead of 2 wheel drive. Do you know what the difference would be if any?
Thanks so much, Brian
My 93 Nissan pickup manual said to put it in 2 wd then back up some to fully disengage the 4 wd. My jeep wrangler was the same way most of the time.
Thank You
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?
Thanks
For a transfer case that only has a lock function for 4wd (no center diff or full time mode iow), that's pretty normal behavior. You should switch modes, stop, back up a little later, and/or saw your steering wheel left and right to fully disengage that gear, especially as it ages and the miles pile on. Pretty much any transfer case on my old jeeps is like this. Not that lubing that mechanism can hurt though either lol. Never seem a 2wd/4lock only tcase. Not for dry pavement use.
So was the actuator switch actually bad, or could just taking it off and then spraying the button have worked ?. I have a 2005 Dakota that engages itself into and out of 4 low, I am thinking it must be a similar actuator switch problem.
Good tip
Thanks Joe!
I have a 2004 jeep liberty an I had it in drive position. Tried to put it into 4wd an forgot it wasn't in neutral an quickly put shifter back down. It had little burn smell in vents. Did I damage it?
do they make a manual lever my sons older ram he put one on his the vacuum actuator rusted out
Real life there Brian. Now we all know. ;-)
Does this apply to a 04 Jeep Liberty 3.7L 4x4 automatic and #2 is this the rear or the front?? Thank You
How do you change the fluid in the transfer case? I have a Jeep Wrangler. Fixed a bunch of stuff already with your help. THANK YOU!
MOST have a fill plug like shown at 10:52. There's also a drain plug that looks just like the fill plug, but at the bottom. Best of luck!
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.
My 2014 durango awd does it when is really cold the light pops up!!!! Any ideas? And throttle body light turns too at the same time
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!??
When I move my switch from 2wd to 4wd it usually takes a few seconds before it engages.
Okay quick question.. What does that Red dot 🔴 mean and also the symbol (⚡️) when you first turn the vehicle on?
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.
Heck ya man! You've got my details- give me a heads up next time you're here. Spanky knows where I'm at too.
briansmobile1 Thank you, I wll.
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?
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.
Hey
I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0D
I got a message on the SVC 4WD dashboard
The car is driving (I don't know if the rear drive will turn on because I have no way to check)
It does not make disturbing sounds - everything looks correct except for the message on the board.
Do you have any idea where I can start, how can I tell what is wrong?
will you help?
Thanks
Regards
David
Which Jeep is this? I have a 16' Cherokee Limited...symptoms the same...but your interior is different than mine...same remedy?
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
Update it by replacing the module or do you mean taking it to the dealer to actually update the software?
@@payattention7990 update the software
Do they charge to update the software
Was that Spanky in the truck? 😊
Nice video Brian thx 👍
Nope- that was my wife Mrs. briansmobile1.
I have a 2007 H3 it will start but wont move when I shift it into drive the front drive shaft spins but truck won't move I'm lost an don't know where to start with this truck
Does this fix the incomplete shift in gears? #2009Nitro #serv4wd
So that Extreme Green is that good
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.
What's the name of the little motor
I have a 2011 jeep liberty with the same problem can some body help me? I live on moreno valley thanks
I never switch between 4 and 2 wheel drive without it being in park or neutral. Asking for trouble otherwise.
Can you bypass the entire logic and put a manual handle for on /off 4x4
Ah jeeze thats annoying haha. Been there. I've bought tools to change out something that didn't need changing. Live and learn.
Shouldn't their be fluid possibly where you put your finger just a thought. I'm not Shure my durrango keeps popping the fuse. Good video
i use it in my transmission and my rear deferential
i think your the one that told me about it last year im in utah so we have lots of mountains and hill's
Right on! I wish I'd learned about it sooner and that I'd used it sooner. I'm SUPER skeptical about additives.

its great stuff little pricey but works good

hi brian hey i keep getting bank one and bank two lean codes i changed the uper and lower intake manifold gaskets but the crazy part is it keeps saying that the codes are pending tried erasing them and they just come back saying pending another guy told me it could be a bad computer anyone else ever have this problem or know what can cause the codes i have a 98 ford explorer eddie bauer with the 4.0 sohc VIN E
briansmobile1
and i changed my uper and lower intake manifold gaskets and nothing
@@briansmobile1 having trouble with my nitro came across your video mine feels like something rubbing or grinding.
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)
I have a 2005 ram 1500 rear wheel drive but on my dash board, I can see the word 4wd and I don’t have the Nob to switch it.
Which extreme green product did you squirt in? I saw the spray but wasn't sure about injected one.
I injected the transmission fluid treatment.
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.
Brian ever seen an oil pan not release because of hanging up on flex plate ( I guess) 02 sedona. Thanks
Have seen bell housing splash guards hang them up- yeah, but not a flex plate.
Will you be doing a followup on the transfer case? I'd like to know what makes it stuck.
He didn't even test his majgic juice this time as in after treatment show off. They all stick like this even the manual ones. Backing up a short distance has always been the secret to successful 2 to 4 and 4 to 2 wheel drive operation. Would have been better to make that the central theme take away.Achilles heel, you must compensate for it always if you want to be a smart driver. Push button faux world just wrongly impresses people with the wrong impression. But now that you know they lie often, you can take it or leave it and even put it in reverse for ten feet anyway.
You're totally on the right track, but this was different in that you could back up a mile and the 4wd wouldn't come on. It was STUCK.
Would this be the same for 2014 dodge charger hemi with service awd light???
i’m late but did you ever find a fix for the 2014
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?
Did you ever get this solved? I'm having the same issue with mine.
wow
I've got a 2012 Grand Cherokee 4x4 that wont go into any gear. Any suggestions?
Kevin Dollar check the t case linkage, might be stuck in nuettal
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
I need 4x4 clutch relay location ford escape 2011?p1824 .......regards
So what was wrong with it exactly?
I'm having the same problem service 4wd light on 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland drives me nuts works in all gears no prob but the dang light won't go away thinking of trying ur method I'll keep you posted.
did you fix it? I have the same issue with my 2011 GC limited. 4WD SVC light is on
@@johnng4139 unfortunately no not yet due to the mechanics around me they are clueless but as soon as I do I'll try to put up some information to help u out
@@djshortcutz thanks for the reply. I heard it may need a computer flash. Taking it to the dealer nest week.
@@johnng4139 hope that works can u keep me posted because I went to a shop there trying to tell me some wrong with transfer case to take it to transmission shop which I know from there it's gonna cost a arm and a leg
Fingers crossed ...
Hi everyone, I had the same issue with my 2013 Grand cherokee Limited 3.6. After looking docents of videos and reading. After various scans in the different shops avoiding go to the dealer :). The solution was update the software of the vehicle. Now it feels with more power and smooth.
Zac Sent me here so Hi!
Hey Hans! Welcome!
do you know the part number of the transfer case motor? I need to get one but cant find where to get it
Take it to the dealer and update the software before get some parts.
@@wilsongarciaromero update what software
change it in nuetral only unless your driving
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
So the car has to be running for the button to catch the 4x4
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.
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.
@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 have to put that model in neutral to do the transfer to and from 4wd
You do know that some are designed to go in reverse to disengage 4wheel drive.
Absolutely.
I only use gear oil in my Tcase. Pushing 250k with no issues.
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.
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).
Can u upload the pic of the fuse
@@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.
Need to shift to neutral to go outta 4wd.
I think the easy fix is to go reverse then drive every time to go out of 4wd ( old school )
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.
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
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?
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
Thanks for sticking your finger in there...I was scared to see someone loose there finger
I’m stuck in 4 wheel drive
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
DJ.Spikes Hostage if 4wd is selectable then it will always have a t-case.
tyler a not the ones I seen I work on cars bud ,,,take care!!!!
Bahahahahaha
"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.

I have my car 2014 Chrysler 300 when i drive show me service all wheel drive
*@**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.
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.
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 😬
Go to the junkyard
Why is he touching it with dirty gloves
Beep
That piece was $400.00 - I figured about $150 to to $200 - way off
You and me both!
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
