So I had to drive over a curb the other day. It was fairly high so I decided to put my truck in 2wd low range (manual hubs unlocked), it wouldn't engage, no light and no click. I was kinda in a rush so I decided to deal with it later. I tried it again and still nothing. Any ideas what's wrong? Could it just be a switch? Any help is appreciated.

If no light or it didn't click I would check the switch first. Maybe just the fuse.

 

how woud i go about checking the switch? ill check my fuses tomorow.

 

Definately check your fuses. If need be I will send you a spare switch and you can check it from there.

 

cool, thanks cj, il let you know what happens tomorrow.

 

um....if your hubs are UNLOCKED obviously nothings going to happen

 

if you have manual hubs you can engage low range without locking your hubs and only use your rear whees.

 

i also tried ocking my hubs and got nothing

 

um...this really makes no sense. how do u have 2wd low range? there isn't a light for it or anything

but if you tried to put it in 4x4 and got no light it could be the switch. check fuses first though

 

there is no light because they did not come stock with manual hubs. trust me i have done this quite a few times before for poping curbs and puling boats up boat ramps.

 

why are u saying there is no light and no click then? there is no such thing as 2wd low in a ranger and your transfer case wont "click" from what i know. you either have 2wd, 4h or 4l

edit oh ok i get it now, u just weren't being too descriptive but now i know what you're talking about

 

If the GEM module did not click the clockwise relay, there is no power going to it. If the truck was not in neutral and the brake was not pressed, the relays will not click.

If the truck was stopped and in neutral and still nothing, check the fuses and then move on to the switch

 

Roger that!


I think you're on to something with the fuses Frank!

Fix the problem? Was it the switch?

 

I didn't get a chance to check it out. I was gonna do it yesterday but I got stuck working a double and I'm working all day today so I'm gonna look at it tonight when I get off work around 9.

 

Anyone know which fuse I need to check? I'm on my break at work and am trying to figure this out but I don't have my book with me.

 

not sure, do you have your owners manual?

 

Not with me but I have it at the house.

 

if not, look up rwenzing. there is a link in his profile to owners manuals. very helpful.

 

so i might just be drunker than i thought... i looked him up, found the link but its not taking me to an owners manual.

 

it wont be direct...they changed the layout. you'll find it though it took me a minute to find it haha
