Ford Explorer: Transfer Case Motor

Yes, you can drive it with the shift motor off, just not in 4-wheel-drive,
of course.

IS yours not working? Did you try wrapping it with a hammer a couple of
times? That always works on my 92. Though, as Jim Warman points out, it is
not a permanent fix. But I don't know that taking it apart and cleaning it
is a permanent fix either. Some people have had to do it more than once over
time. It is unfortunately another example of something that was built
Ford-tough. (I really do wish they would reserve Ford-tough for the less
important parts and go with Japanese-tough for stuff that really matters,
such as that shift motor.)

Good luck.

Did I write wrap? Geeze. That, of course, should be "rap" with a hammer -
unless you have a VERY flexible hammer )

I had it into the shop last spring, and they said they got it to work
by "rapping" on it. They recommended that I replace the motor, but I
didn't have $400 for the new part. I go to school in the U.P. of
Michigan. Lots of cold and snow, but after the weather warmed up, the
motor began to shift properly again. I did some research, and most of
the info pointed to a simple cleaning instead of a new part. Anyway,
I'm going to take it off and clean it this weekend, and see how it
works once the weather gets cold. Thanks for the help.
