went to put my truck in 4 wheel the other day, nothing happend.

on my superduty, the GEM module went out, and would't bulb check (light didn't come on when i turned the key to start it)

this truck, it is bulb checking but when i turn the knob, nothing happens.....like the knob isn't working. no motor sound, no clunking, nothing.


any ideas what it could be?

Don't know a whole lot about the 4x4's other than there is alot of stuff to check. Fuses, solenoids, vacuum lines, actuator?

If you don't have one here is a link for OM so you know what fuses to check first.

Ford F150 forum would be a good place to start.

i had the electric switch that is on the differential (can't remember what it's called) replaced on my '03 and it fixed it.

sounds like the same deal you're having.

Is it a F150 or a Superduty? Can't be both.

He seems to be talking about two different trucks...

Crawl underneath the vehicle and give the shift motor on the back of the transfercase a couple of wacks with a rubber hammer. See if that gets you going.

Check the the IWE solenoid, I've owned 5 of these trucks over the years and had the IWE go out on my 03 and 07.

This might help a little bit. Not sure if it is going to be by the battery on the 03 Model
