[QUOTE="phydough, post: 774195, member: 57"] BDRAG, I bet you a dozen "dough"nuts that the electrical connector (6 or so pins) just before the shift motor on the transfer case has water in it. My 2010 would not shift in or out of 4wd when raining or after hitting puddles. Got the wrench and "check 4x4" message too. Ford replaced the t-case shift motor but the problem persisted. Worst time was with a bunch of Jeeps and FJ's that were doubtful of the Raptors capabilities, and it wouldn't shift into 4wd when I needed it (just ******* great, witnesses). I crawled underneath (in the mud) and pulled apart that connector and water poured out, I blew it dry(ish) and shot WD40 in it and it shifted fine. The final fix was to fill the connector with dielectric grease and wrap it and the nearby wiring loom with waterproof, self bonding tape. Haven't had any more problems in three years since waterproofing the connector. [/QUOTE]
