Q: My 4x4 system stopped working.
My 4x4 system stopped working. I have had it in a shop for a few weeks but still nothing. I have replaced the motor on the transfer case, the control switch, fuses, relays, and the gem module. I can't afford to pay for the mechanics to keep trying this and that. What could it be and how do I correct it ?
My car has 160000 miles.
