Exclamation Can't engage AWD mode
Hi all. New member here. Searched and read lots of threads about t-cases but couldn't find similar issue or solution about it.
Just purchased 3rd gen T4R and it came with this problem: when I push the 4WD button it locks center diff as well (heavy steering etc.) and the indicators are flashing constatntly. CDL button under the speedo has no reaction at all.
Push 4WD again and car struggles but finally disengages everything.
Any ideas why awd button turns on center diff lock as well ?

Yea - Im wondering if the moderators can move this to 3rd gen. I know in the 4th gen theres wiring harnesses that go into each button. I guess thats the first thing I would check. Id assume the buttons have different shaped harnesses but would be easy to check

Sorted it out. Both actuator motors (t-case and front diff) were clocked incorrecly. Seems previous owner messed with them
