I'm posting this again as I realized that I had posted it in the electronics thread.I'm asking this for my nephew who's at his wits end. He's had his truck to the dealer twice and another mechanic with no solution. When he tries to put his truck in 4 wheel drive it will not engage. The light on the dash shows that it is trying to. He's had the TIPM aka a fuse panel replaced but no change. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Update on the 4x4 problem. On the third visit to the Dodge dealer, my nephew was told that they (the dealer) should have replaced the TIPM and the transfer case motor at the same time(which they didn't do) or they would short each other out.Which happened! Now they offer him a "really good deal on a trade in". Has anyone heard of this before and does anyone have any advice as to how to deal with this with Chrysler Canada ?

They should replace the tipm free of charge because they ****** up the first time then your boy will have to pay to replace the t/c motor that they should have found the first time. Depending on how you approch them you might get more freebies. Good luck.
