Electric Front Actuator on 4x4

[Randy_T]

Hi,
I have a 1991 GMC P/U. I put in a new Front electric actuator because I thought it was bad. Not the case. Where is the switch located that engages the electric actuator? Is it one of the connectors on the transfer case?

Randy

PS: I can not find a schematic for the electric 4wd.

Thanks. I have been reading alot of these posts. This is a great Message Board. The truck with the problem is actually my Dad's but I have a 1987 GMC Jimmy and my wife drives a 1994 GMC Suburban. Somethings gettin' lifted for sure!

did you get the wiring harness with it as well?

you could try one of these they work really well and eliminate all the electric components

Yes. The actuator did come with a harness. Different style actuator with this adapter style harness. It didn't work and I really didn't like it. A friend had a spare 2 wire actuator that works, so I have that. I ordered the Transcase Electric Switch(?). I hope that fixes it.

Yeah. I like that. The new actuator cost $285. The Manual one in your link is $170. I'll see what Dad thinks.

Thanks,
Randy
