hilux 4wd won't engauge

Post by 1rugger »

hey thought someone here may know something about the electric 4wd on the 3.0lt turbo 1kz-te transfer. i've just finished transplanting the eng & box into my double cab. swapped full loom 4wd comp inc. and tested it in the drive way and drove round in fwd while the rear shaft was getting lengthened the went up worsleys today and all went well till i got to the top and got stuck crossing some ruts :roll: and realized that the 4wd had disengaged and would not re-engage :oops: . so i shut off the engine to see if i could hear the actuator moving when i press the 4wd button and there was nothing. just wondering if i need to trick the computer into thinking the front diff is engaged or if something is faulty :?:
