That's impressive.

 

Lol yeah I thought so. Gonna try to get into my parents garage this weekend and inspect a couple of things

 

Lemme know

 

Hey guys,

Putting in a new windshield and gem here guys. Will keep you posted.

 

ok

 

alright guys,

new switch , new windshield and new GEM still no 4x4. No dash light, no sounds whatsoever. Any ideas?

 

Where did you get the GEM from?

 

tascaparts.com

 

Does anybody know what actually turns the 4wd light on the dash on? Is it when the transfer case actually makes the switch or when the dash switch is turned? I know the light works because it lights up when I start the truck. Also does your 4wd switch light up at night with the rest of your instruments? Mine doesn't. I've tested both switches (since I ordered a new one when this debacle started) and they both tested good with an ohm meter. Any ideas?

 

The only time it is illuminated is when the GEM turns it on. The GEM will turn it on for prove out at start up and when you engage 4x4.

The GEM receives a signal form the switch to shift the t-case. The GEM sends current to the relays and they power the shift motor. When the shift motor moves the forks in the t-case it also moves contact plates in the motor assembly which sends feed back to the GEM to indicate the position of the shift forks. Using the relays the GEM can turn the motor clockwise and counter-clockwise.
