Ford F-150 2021-2023 Transfer Case Shift Motor ML3Z-7G360-A

This is the electric shift motor for the transfer case on the 2021-2023 Ford F-150 4WD, plus the 2022-2023 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. It replaces Ford ML3Z-7G360-A and has a 7-blade connector. It weighs 4.1 lb. Older F-150s take different motors, such as 600-928 for 2009-2011 trucks, so check the part number on your old motor.

A failed shift motor causes a Service 4WD or 4X4 Not Available message. The dial or buttons may change modes on the dash but not at the transfer case, or the truck may be stuck in 4HI or 4LO. Scan for transfer case module codes first to rule out a wiring or module fault.

You cannot rotate the motor gear to line it up. Turn the shift shaft on the transfer case until it matches the motor instead, then seat the motor flush and tighten the bolts evenly. If the motor will not sit flat, the shaft is not lined up. Do not pull it down with the bolts.
