Transfer case/centre diff beeping

[kaalidra Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close kaalidra]

So I recently stripped the chain gear in the transfer case on a weekend out, limped the car back home and managed to source a "zero k's" transfer case from a stat w/o. Once I installed the new unit, the centre diff light flashes like an indicator and the transfer case beeps with every flash. The centre diff is permanently engaged, and pushing the diff lock button does nothing. Furthermore, turning the the h4 to l4 also does nothing. I have removed and re installed the transfer case, checked all the vacuum hoses for kinks, checked the wiring harness into the case, no pulled wires or dodgy connections. I've lifted all 4 wheels off the ground to get rid of any wind up, yet it won't correct itself. I have even left the car disconnected from the battery overnight to reset the ecu, but it still won't disengage.
Any ideas???

Have you tried driving it in a straight line for 100m or so? We sometimes have to drive ours back and forth to get it to unlock as well.

I've had to drive it around 60k's. on gravel and, unfortunately, on bitumen. I've liftet the car completely free off the ground to get rid of any tension on the drivetrain, but no luck. When I click the ignition button, it sounds like the actuator is engaging, but I can't stop this from happening.

Not having seen how the wiring connects into the case I have to ask. Are you sure it's wired up correctly?

Yeah, the wiring loom is one directional, it can't be done incorrectly. I've checked all the connectors and they're all in the correct position.

When mine recently accidentally locked up, I tried different things that did not work, then reversed it down the driveway slope on a hard turn and it popped out.
