I haven't had to really use the heat yet except for defrost which worked fine and the A/C works very well--comes out of all the vents.
4x4 Shift Motor is not.......

The motor is not turning. Is it getting power? The bad motor may have blown a fuse. The shift motors are a part that seems to go out on a regular basis if you use your 4x on a regular basis.

This is exactly why I like the manual stick on the floor, and manual hubs.

Unfortunately I don't have a tester here but I have somebody that's gonna bring one over on Wed. I will check all the fuses and the module behind the glove box--will let ya know what I find.
It's a new motor--got it from NAPA but that doesn't mean it couldn't have a problem.

That's the one thing I really miss with my old F150.....the stick on the floor...it was soooo much easier and I never had a problem gittin' into 4X drive. Didn't have to change the hubs but having that stick was the greatest!!!
sorry but this would NOT have anything to do w/ the engagement of
the transfer case.
now if the HUBS werent engaging or unlocking THEN youd be on the
right track.

I love it and would take it over the ELSOF anyday. It may be considered a pain in the rear for some, but it avoids problems like this. I would agree 100% with the statement that these stick are the greatest!!

Okay--could you please explain what the AC/heat would have to do with anything if the hubs weren't engaging or unlocking???
And are you saying that I should be able to lock or unlock those hubs manually with no problem??? They are in automatic right now but I have not tried to move them myself.
I took a look at the module under the glove compartment and just eyeballing it, it looks okay but guess it too needs to be tested--tester will be here Wed.
Can't check the fuses tonite--my garage lite/flashlite isn't all that bright. Knew I should have gotten one of those new LED flashlites...
gonna do that tomorrow.the vac. pump (which is mounted under the hood, in the engine bay,
on the passenger side fender)...provides vac. for the ac/heat/defrost
venting as well as for the auto hubs.
if there is a LEAK in the vac lines the ac/heat/defrost DEFAULTS to
the defroster.
when you cant control/direct the vent (ac/heat/defrost) its typically
an indication that youve got a vac. line/pump leak..and its more often
that not a leak at the hub seals which prevent the hubs from locking or
unlocking (automatically).
the HUBS are some what independant of the transfer case... the transfer
case can be engaged w/OUT and the hubs might not BE locked/unlocked.
