88 XJ Transfer Case Problem

[2000F150SAS]

88 XJ. When the transfer case is in 2 high the part-time light is on, and the front driveshaft is turning. What is problem; it’s a manual shift transfer case, right?

Thanks

If its got the D30 the axles are hooked to the wheels all the time and spins R/P and therefore spinning the drive shaft even in 2WD. Just saw the year of said jeep, so its probably the vac disco on the long side shaft just hung up or something.

So is the transfer case spinning and draining power like it was in 4x4? Or is it just spinning free and not sucking power?

Make any sense?

Thanks

There is no power being applied to it, but there is drag from having to spin all the front axle and such.

Since the DS is spinning it's still in 2h and until i shift into 4l or 4h then i'm in 4x4?

Thanks for the help

vac disco on axle is not working.

vac on axle was just replaced with a posi-lock conversion

then posi lock is not working. adjust cable or you may not have the the fork over the over the slider. i have seen that before.

We have the posi-lock with out the cable, so the 2 axles become one.

that is why the driveshaft is spinning... no power being applied to it until you shift into 4wd
