T-Case Motor Wiring Diagram (Request)

Does anyone know the color coding for the wires on the 600-807 transfer case motor? I'm referring to the 5 wires going to the position sensors. Given a single common wire, that makes 4 sensors (2H,4H,4L,N).
I'm looking to tow my truck behind an RV, but the electric-shift 4x4 doesn't have a neutral option, so I want to make a switch that reverses the 4L and neutral sensor wires to trick the 4x4 module into entering neutral when i select 4L.
Alternately, a photo of the positions of 4H/4L on the T-case shaft or shift motor would work.
Thanks!

Look here: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums...-motor.123542/

4th picture down shows shift rod at 2WD(2H)

Neutral is directly across from 2H, it isn't marked on these transfer cases

Contacts and contact wheel are also seen in that thread

Make SURE wheels are blocked if you manually shift transfer case!!!! as it WILL ROLL AWAY in Neutral

What year Ranger?
and I will post wiring for that year

But best bet would be to remove shift motor and plug it back in, turn key on
If its in 2WD then test the contact wires
Then shift it to 4H, test contact wires
Then shift it to 4L, test contact wires

Find out which contacts are open and which are closed
There is 1 common wire and 4 contact wires, so while I have never tested this, I would assume there would be 1 contact wire for each position, 2WD, 4H, Neutral, 4L

Attached is 2000 4WD wiring

And Ron arrives to save the day as usual :)
I have a 2003, you've actually given me the wiring diagram before, but it doesn't list which wire belongs to which position. (I haven't been able to find any that do) But with the info you gave about the shaft position, I should be able to figure it out.
To my knowledge, Ford used to make a kit that would add what I'm looking for to 2007+ Rangers, whose 4x4 motor has the same pinout, so there shouldn't be any reason this would not work. I'll have to get to testing later this week.
Thank you sir.

I believe the kit was/is just a pre wired plug and play LED light, then the dealer would program the computer, and give you the instructions on how to engage neutral.

part # 3L2Z-7H332-AA and is still available

Interesting, I thought it was discontinued due to squabbles between Ford and the company that wrote the program - at least that's what I read on the interwebs.
Either way, it doesn't seem to be compatible with the pre-07 Rangers (source: https://accessories.ford.com/neutral-tow-kit-9818.html ). Probably has to do with the 4x4 module being different between the two. Besides, I don't think I would want to shell out the $278.93 the website is quoting me for some fancy code and a green LED.
Will update with the results of my testing, hopefully Tuesday evening.

I would be curious to know the voltage on the yellow/white wire(motor 1) at shift motor

The dash switch uses 5volt reference voltage, another member here posted these numbers for the dash selector switch
I get
3.86v and 3,870 ohms for 2wd,
2.94v and 1,090 ohms for 4wd high and
1.76v and 357 ohms for 4wd low

So the 4x4 module sends the dash switch 5volts with Key on, if it gets back 3.86v then it knows switch is in 2WD position
4x4 Module would then "check" contact switch in the shift motor to make sure it was also in 2H position, if not I assume it would move it to 2H position

Might be same 5v on the Motor 1 wire
Then when Motor 2 to 5 get 5v that tells 4x4 module position of contact wheel/shift rod

If these wires do have 5v or even 12v you could install an LED to confirm neutral by tapping that contact wire, if its a Ground reference then you could do the samething
