Transfer Case Shift Motor
So this is supposed to be the "non-tech" area. But I do not know where else to put this question.
Do XJ's have transfer case shift motors?
Dr. Google tells this, "The transfer case shift motor is a small electric motor that moves parts within the transfer case itself to activate the various modes of the 4WD system. Through gears or a chain, the transfer case connects the input from the transmission to the rear axle and front axle driveshafts."
I do not see the part listed in the Mopar 91'-93' JEEP PARTS CATALOG 81-690-1792. But then again, the part may be under a different name.
I purchased a reman t-case. The shift motor isn't included.

Google is wrong. It's lever/linkage operated.

Jeep XJ Transfercase shift motor pictured below. Might have a hard time finding one on Rock Auto I heard the core charge is pretty high.

It's called an "encoder motor" and is used on 4x4's with push button transfer case operation. Rebuilt the complete system on my '96 Blazer a few years back. A big PIA just so you don't have to use a lever. System consists of mechanical,electrical,and vacuum operated components.

But where are your indicator lights?
Can't use the shifter without having them, can you?
