Front Drive Actuator

NOTE: The actuator is not a serviceable compo-
nent. If it is defective, it must be replaced.
NOTE: The actuator will operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The front drive actuator is located on the side of the
front drive input housing. With the engine stopped and
the ignition switch in the ON position, a momentary
"whirring" sound can be heard each time the front
drive selector switch is shifted. If no sound is heard,
see Section 5. If the actuator runs constantly or makes
squealing or grinding sounds, the actuator must be
replaced.
REMOVING
1. Disconnect the connector on the actuator harness.
2. Remove the mounting cap screw from the drive-
shaft side of the actuator.
3. Remove the mounting cap screw from below the
actuator on the suspension side.
4. Loosen but do not remove the mounting cap screw
at the front of the actuator; then slide the actuator
to the rear enough to clear the slotted mounting tab
and the selector shaft.
