Consumer Description

TRANSFER CASE TRIES TO SHIFT INTO 4LO AT RANDOM (YELLOW 4LO LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES & CAN FEEL IT TRYING TO SWITCH) & IT ALSO TRIES ENGAGING WHEN THE KEY ISN'T IN THE IGNITION. I'VE READ THAT IF IT ENGAGES IN 4LO AT A HIGH SPEED IT COULD DO MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE POWER TRAIN & POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I'VE SEARCHED IN GOOGLE & IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE HAD THE POWER CONNECTOR TO THE "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE" DISCONNECTED SINCE SEPTEMBER 2012 SO I CAN DRIVE BUT I'M UNABLE TO SWITCH TO 4LOCK OR 4LO IF NEEDED (SVC 4WD LIGHT STAYS ON). *TR
