How do you remove actuator from transfer case?
Do you mean remove the actuator and try to push in the hole the actuator threads into with say a wooden dowel and spin one side and when they both engage then its teh actuator? Do I do this with the transfer case in 2H so the Front drive shaft will be able to rotate when engaged by the dowel?
Why are my front axle actuators going bad?
Age, damage, and lack of consistent use are the most common reasons for these actuators to go bad. These actuators work in an unfriendly environment. Underneath the car attached to the drivetrain, they are subject to extreme temperature change as well as physical damage from dirt, debris, rocks, etc.
Where is the encoder motor on a transfer case?
These systems also allow bidirectional control for many outputs. The encoder motor (arrow) is mounted on the front of the transfer case and is used to lock it into 4WD. The scan tool data will show motor position via the en- coder circuit PIDs. There’s no need to scrape the mud off the undercarriage.
Where is the front axle shift actuator located?
Locate it on the front axle. Unplug it. Use a large adjustable or correct size wrench and remove the actuator. Reverse to install a new one. When you press the button in your vehicle an electrical current passes through the actuator. The actuator is filled with a gas. This gas expands when heated.
What kind of car is a 1995 Chevy k1500?
I’ve got a 1995 Chevy K1500. I used the 4wd back in deer season, then didn’t use it for about 2-3 months. I went to use it the other day, and nothing worked.
Why does my transfer case not engage 4WD?
A faulty front axle actuator can cause the 4WD front axle to not engage properly. If it locks in 4low, then the actuator will be fine. They suck, but if it works then it works. A faulty transfer case switch can cause the 4WD front axle to not engage properly. This sounds like your best bet.

Why do you need a front axle actuator kit?
Your front axles, differential, and driveshaft are permanently coupled to the front wheels, improving reliability and 4×4 readiness, but power is not sent to the front wheels until the transfer case is engaged. These kits are popular with fleet operators, or on vehicles that are regularly used off road.
