Hey everyone,
I originally posted this is the wrong forum, mods feel free to delete the posting in the performance forum. I started getting the Service 4WD message on my dash a few months ago on my 06 70,000k SRT. No noticeable changes when driving the Jeep. The message would come on randomly upon starting the Jeep and would disappear if I turned it off and then back on again. Being the overly cautious person I am, I took the Jeep to the dealer a couple weeks back and was told that they believe it was the Transfer Case Motor actuator and that it would be $600+ to replace. Thanks to this forum, I learned it was a simple swap so I did it myself. I am still getting the message on random start ups, even after putting in a new transfer case actuator. Does the code need to be reset? If so, how is that done? Everything is working fine. I did a test launch and it gripped just fine. No weird noises with TC on/off. No weird grinds when making sharp turns. I am baffled. The only symptom is the Service 4WD message is coming on randomly when I start it up. TC fluid was changed last year.
Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
Mike
