Jeep Renegade AWD Transfer Case Shift Motor 68267195AA

This is a replacement shift motor actuator for the AWD transfer unit on the small Jeep, Fiat and Dodge crossovers. It replaces OE 68267195AA, 68408718AA, 68408718AB and 68408718AC and uses a 10-pin connector. Listed fitment is 2015-2019 Jeep Renegade 2.4L AWD with the 9-speed automatic, 2015 and 2017-2018 Renegade 1.4L AWD, 2019-2020 Renegade 1.3L AWD with the 9-speed, 2016-2018 Fiat 500X 2.4L AWD, 2019-2021 Fiat 500X 1.3L AWD, and 2023-2025 Dodge Hornet 1.3L and 2.0L AWD. It comes with the motor and 4 bolts.

These vehicles run in front-wheel drive most of the time and use this motor to connect the rear driveline when traction is needed, so it cycles often. When the motor or its internal gears wear out, the usual signs are a Service AWD or Service 4WD message, a flashing AWD light, AWD that will not engage or will not release, clicking or grinding from the unit when it tries to shift, and AWD that only works some of the time. Scan for codes and check the 10-pin connector for corrosion before replacing the motor.

With the vehicle safely supported, unplug the connector and remove the bolts holding the motor to the outside of the transfer unit, then pull the motor straight off. The gear position on the new motor is fixed, so if the splines do not line up, rotate the transfer unit shift mechanism slightly to match rather than forcing the motor on. Seat the motor fully, install the 4 bolts, plug it in, clear codes and road test through a few AWD engagements.
