Default 4wd actuator problem
hello all. Recently i had my 4wd actuator replaced. it has been working great until recently it was not engaging. I would turn the dial to 4H and nothing would happen on the display screen. I switched it back multipule time and nothing happned. I finally popped the hood and took the relay switch out and reinserted the switch. After that the truck engaged into 4H. Would it just be a bad relay switch?

they relay switch may have been loose or getting a poor connection. Wait and see if it does it again before you start replacing stuff

I think this is what I'd do.
