Hi Everyone. I have a 2000 4 dr. XLS with a 4.0 OHV motor and 5 sp. transmission.
I can engage 4wd high and low no problem. The lights come on on the dash, I can cruise around in 4wd low all day, but the transfer case doesn't lock so my front wheels don't spin. I use to hear a electrical "click" when the transfer case locked, but now I do not hear that anymore.
Thanks to gijoecam's walkthrough I figured it would be best to start a new thread. I jacked up the front end, engaged 4wd high, and the front driveshaft spins freely with the wheels turning as well. I also engaged 4wd low with the same outcome.
With that being said, should I start looking at local salvage yards for a good transfer case, or is a rebuild worth it? Or can I check something else outside of the transfer case that could be the culprit?
