How does the transfer case work on a Dodge Durango?
When additional traction is required, the transfer case LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accomplished by rotating the AWD Control Switch to the desired position. Refer to “Shifting Procedure” for specific shifting instructions.
How does the transfer case shift motor work?
The transfer case shift motor responds to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) commands to move the transfer case shift sector bi-directionally, as required, to obtain the transfer case operating mode indicated by the instrument panel mounted selector switch.
Why does my Durango not engage the 4×4?
It will not engage the 4×4 system at all. When you turn the switch (Piece of crap electronic acuter, solenoid stuff they got now.) will not engage the 4×4. Has anybody else had this problem with their Durango?
How does all wheel drive work in a Dodge Durango?
All-wheel drive will be automatically engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. When additional traction is required, the transfer case LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
The transfer case in the Dodge Durango has multiple gear ratios, which can be selected by moving the switch in the cabin to 2Hi, 4Hi, or 4Lo. It has been known to shift to 4Lo without warning, at any speed, and whether the vehicle is on or off. If this occurs at highway speeds, the result can be catastrophic failure of the transfer case.
Is there a 4 wheel drive transfer switch?
The light on the 4 wheel drive transfer switch is no longer on and when I turn the switch to any of the 4 wheel drive positions it will not switch over to 4 wheel drive. Two wheel drive works OK. We checked fuses that might be related and they were OK. Is there a specific fuse for this?
What causes a transfer case switch to fail?
If this occurs at highway speeds, the result can be catastrophic failure of the transfer case. This is caused by a faulty four wheel drive shift motor, selector switch (in the cab) or the wiring between the two. The most common cause is the transfer case switch, which is an electric motor mounted on the transfer case.
