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.
Why is my belt actuator on my 4×4 not working?
I have an 09 650 4x4i and the 4wd 2wd keeps switching back and forth and when i turn off the bike the belt actuator keeps making noise and won’t stop. I have to pull the fuse out to keep it from killing the battery.
Why is my 4 wheel drive not working?
Needing a little guidance here, no lights flashing on the gauge pod and will not swap from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive.Have flushed the front diff several times, checked/swapped all relays they are good, put direct power to the actuator and it spins. Any ideas on what to do next ? Rubber around switch is not torn…
Why is my actuator on my Brute not working?
It’s VERY common for them to rot and cause the exact problem you are describing. In fact it comes up often enough that somebody should do a write up on it. Pulled my actuator and put it on my buddies brute and its flashing in 1 sec intervals, telling me that my actuator is bad…

Why does my 4 wheel drive not engage?
The transfer case could pose another reason why your 4 wheel drive fails to engage. This could be due to the vehicle not coming to a complete stop to allow it to engage. This is because the splined pin and gears of the actuator need to align 100% with the gears inside the transfer case.
What to do if your 4WD light is flashing?
It’s a corroded actuator. Gently tap the actuator housing with a rubber mallet and see if that gets it to work. If so, remove the housing, clean well (a light sanding of the contacts, depending on corrosion, might help), apply a light coat of dielectric grease, and reinstall.
Why is the 4WD light not flashing on my Toyota Tundra?
Got the same flashing lights, on the instrument panel and then on the buttons below the radio. However, my 4WD will not engage. And the lights flash at times and at other times thye do not flash. Got no solutions so far. Click to expand… It’s a corroded actuator.
What does the 4 wheel drive light mean?
The purpose of the 4 wheel drive light is to indicate when you have engaged 4WD mode by selecting 4H. When the light flashes continuously for more than 30 seconds it signifies there is a problem somewhere on your drivetrain system and that 4WD has not engaged properly.
