It will kill the auto box and is not correct for the transfer box, both need Dexron 3.
Thanks guys.
You could have the motor in the wrong position inside the tranny box
Oh. Please explain? If I take the motor off, select low, refit it, then test?You could have the motor in the wrong position inside the tranny box
I'm thinking the motor thinks it's in high but the box is in low. So if I switch the motor to low whilst off the box I can refit and the two will both be singing each other's sweet songs?The motor has to be in a position that matches the tranny box.
I've not been there myself but there are a few more experienced bods that can clarify better than myself
You have also to have it timed to the electrical contacts. The details will be in RAVE the workshop manual.
Not sure what that means. I also don't have rave I'm afraid.
If it is still there, you may be able to download RAVE from the technical archive. There are a set of electrical contacts with the motor that tells the electronics the position of the motor, hi, lo or neutral.
Aha. I am a complete buffoon when it comes to these things. I'll download it and see if I can decipher anything.
Hmm, that doesn't work I'm afraid.

Its not Rave as such but the workshop manual and the ETM (electrical trouble shooting manual) are both there
wmlp990e right at the bottom is the WSM
etlp9xx (depending in year/edition) 1 of them is the ETM.

No, the transfer box is in Low. It remains in low whichever side of the H gate the lever is. The thing beeps 5 times, indicates that it's in High or Low but the transfer box itself stays in Low.
Take the motor off, get someone to move the gear lever across the gate, with the ignition on and look to see if the motor operates. If the motor operates, move the gear lever to low, turn off the ignition and refit the motor ensuring the shaft engages with transfer box and doesn't move as you fit it. Then try and see if it will shift to high.
