Does anyone know how or have a link to how to time the Jimny transfer case motor?

And yes I am aware of the errors of my ways, but too late now.

Thanks lads!

um the what now?

The electric motor that selects the gears in the transfer case, push putton model.

It is "timed"

have a search for posts by superduki pretty sure he's got some tech posted about the solenoid... will be in the last couple pages of his build thread from memory.

Thanks atari, yeah the first thread was a dud in terms of helping me, but not a dud thread in terms of awesomeness. Other link didnt help but thanks for ya effort but atleast I PM'd superduki as I am sure he has it sorted.

I like that.

What's more amazing is actually finding it.

actually it might have actually been this post of bugsta's that i was thinking of

Ahh ok, then what I said isn't relevant. Motor comes apart when you crack the box open. I made the assumption that some of the bits you swapped were internals.

Sorry for the hijack....

Can you post up some more info on how you fixed this (pics etc)

Mine won't go into 4x4 either unless I put it into 4H on the fly... Only been like this since I got Josh to put my trialjimny gears in... I hit the case to get it apart and Josh had to hotwire it a bit to get the selector back in the case.

Any info would be helpful cause its a PIA!

Not sure if I did take any pics. Too many keyboard wariors on here quick to berate me, (and others) for my 'poor decisions' (in their opinion), so I mostly don't bother any more. If I did, I'll send you some links.

The rotary switch (the round plastic dial with teeth all round and the clock spring) and the selector rod only have a limited movement range, and they must match. I mucked around for ages to work out where it must start and which side of the notch in the housing the spring retaining-tab needed to be. What confused me a little is that when I pulled the rotary switch out, the tab was pressed hard against the notch and it released tension from the clock spring. I now realise this is taken up when the motor overdrives the switch, presumably to ensure positive locking into gear. I am not sure which, and I don't think it matters. From memory I think I pushed the rod in and had the selector rotated clockwise so that the tab was on the left of the notch (Notch at 11:00. Tab at 10:00).

Have a play with the selector and the switch to see which direction the switch needs to go to move the selector. The switch should be able to do a full movement through all 3 positions (2H,4H,4L) within one full rotation and not be hindered by the notch. You may need to pull it out and rotate it one way or the other a bit, and reinsert it a few times, till you get it right.

I did leave the bolts loose on the motor cover so I could reconfigure once I got it refitted and powered but it semed to work fine and has since.

Last piece of advise... Give it a good clean out and regrease with plenty white grease (White Zinc Oxide) It forms a light skin and is more resistant to dirt and water, and is fine for light duty applications like this. Mine had signs of corrosion on the alloy. I may even pull the cap off and run a small bead of sealant.

However... If it is selecting all 3 positions, I wonder though if the motor is the issue. The motor is easy enough to get at though.

Mines still being a shit!:(

[zukenutter]

Stupid electric transfer, what a crazy idea.

[Jaye]

How I have it in there seems ok but I dont know if the clock spring needs to be wound tight then set? I have a feeling it does cos when it came apart it sounded like it unwound. It just under alot of tension and I would hate to break the wheel or something winding it up.

Could I also get a photo from someone of the wiring harness and the brackets please? I may have the ball switches the wrong way which may not help my cause. I good photo of the back and underside will be good atleaset.

I still got nothing on this guys. Don't want to take it to Suzuki.

shoot bugsta a PM, not sure if he's on here that often. getting a PM should send an email to his addy....
