Actuator Problems

[S Phinney]

I have a strange issue with the 4x4 actuator. It works but will blow the fuse for 4x4 in the cab when you do 4 wheel drive launches. Is it possible that there is enough force being placed on the actuator during the launch that it loads it and blows the fuse? I never had this issue until I put the triples on the truck. There is not a wire getting pinched that I can tell and everything test fine with the test lights as far as signal from the switch and key. Thanks for any help with this.

Ive personally never seen that, However i did have issues with the switch itself. ( On my DD )


I do have a switch i can send you ( no charge ),but cant do it right away.

I have another truck that I can change the switch from and check. I changed the actuator from my other truck and it does the same thing so it is safe to say that it is not the actuator.

I got it all fixed up. It was a wire that returns the signal to the switch that was causing the fuse to blow. Somehow it got pinched between the differential and oil pan when I launched the truck.
