Ford Ranger Transfer Case Shift Motor 1F2417645A

This is the shift motor for the electronic shift transfer case on the 1990s and early 2000s Ranger platform. It mounts on the back of the transfer case and turns the shift cam when you press the 4x4 button or turn the dash switch. It replaces 1F2417645A, 1F2417645B, 1L5Z7G360CA, 1L5Z7G360CB, 1L5Z7G360DB, ZZM017645, 48-202 and 48-203, and uses the 7-terminal round plug.

Listed fitment: 1996-2003 Ford Ranger 4WD, 1995 Ranger with the 7-terminal round plug (match the plug on your old motor), 2005 Explorer Sport Trac, and Mazda B2300, B3000 and B4000 4WD pickups from 1995-2004. It only fits trucks with the electronic shift (push-button or dash knob). Trucks with a floor shift lever do not use a motor.

Common symptoms of a bad motor are 4x4 lights that flash and never go solid, a truck stuck in 4H or 2H, or a buzz from under the truck with no shift. A worn motor also leaves the encoder reading wrong, so the module may give up after a few tries. Check the 4WD fuse and the connector pins first.

Bench notes: shift to 2H, key off, unplug the motor and remove the bolts. Note where the shift shaft sits and line up the new motor with it before you tighten the bolts. Then test 2H, 4H and 4L with the truck rolling slowly.
