I would like to find a testing procedure for these Ranger ESOF systems instead of always trying to rebuild/adjust and swap motors....but I am not familiar.
You can check at the motor harness and see voltage changes on the signal wires when the dash switch is changed. If you see a voltage change for the low shift then that would tell us your NSS and BOO circuits are hooked up correctly and the problem is the shift motor
I wish they were more like the superduties and OBS Ford trucks, those motors simply use one relay to turn one direction and another relay to turn the other...simple ESOF the Ranger system with the controller and GEM is a PITA. Even with that said 99.9% of the time the problem is the shift motor.
All of the trucks I have converted to 4x have been manual case because I almost refuse to give up 5 gallons of fuel in an explorer just to have a 4x4 switch on the dash (Explorers need smaller fuel tank to clear electronic shift motor)
I don't blame you for going manual case especially for $175?? That's junk yard price!! Very good price (I love manual 4406 very much, they are awesome)
but if you have the means, try a different 1354 motor.......It SHOULD be working now.....
