Is the 4WD transfer case shift encoder motor OEM fit?
OEM Fit, Quality, Finish- The 4WD Transfer Case Shift Encoder motor is manufactured to the same specifications as the factory actuators. The actuator features a redesigned housing to insure it lasts longer than the factory part.
When does the transfer case actuator stop blinking?
Yes once the cycle is complete, meaning once first the transfer case actuator cycles to 4 high (which you should be able to hear coming from under the centre of the vehicle as it is very noticeable) and then the front differential actuator engages the light quits blinking and stays lit in 4wd hi.
Is there a way to test my 4WD actuator?
Is there a way to… Is there a way to test your 4×4 actuator in a 2002 Silverado to see if it is actually working? I have replaced it with a new actuator and new transfer case control switch and still cannot get my truck to go into 4×4. Switch just blinks and blinks 4hi or auto. I also have changed wires to make sure of bad wires.
How to install a transfer case 4×4 actuator?
AFTER install, hold the selector knob on the dash full turned to the right (nuetral) and turn key on. Hold 30 seconds +/- and let it go. The light will eventually indicate 4low. Work the knob slowly to each selection. Allow the light to follow. At one point I had to turn drive shaft slightly by hand to allow it to release from 4low.

How does the encoder motor on a GM Truck work?
The encoder motor keeps track of the proper position using the encoder feedback. The encoder is just a variable resistor. It can get worn and give bad readings to the TCCM. Here is a nice write-up on replacing the encoder (sensor wheel) inside the encoder motor.

What is the actuator on a 4 wheel drive?
The actuator is a component found mostly on modern four wheel drives and is designed to electronically engage 4 wheel drive. It accomplishes this by means of a small electric motor bolted onto the transfer case that shifts a pin in place to lock the center transfer differential.
