David Sparkes Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Quote ... can anybody shed any light on this ? Yes. The 38A is still a complex car. It hasn't got any simpler since its introduction in 1995. I don't know what cars of similar complexity you have self maintained in the past, but with the 38A your life will be made simpler, less frustrating, and more rewarding, if you get a copy of the RAVE CDs. IIRC correctly, there were at least 19 versions, one of which was US vehicles only, so try to ensure you get one that covers your vehicle. These cover both the Workshop Manual and the 'Electrical Troubleshooting Manual'; yes, there really is a complete manual focussed on the electrical system. You will still have to come and ask questions, but at least you and the advisor will have a common point of reference. I suggest you tell us the year of your vehicle, and update your profile to show where in the world you reside. For your specific problem, it could be the button has failed; or the wiring to the electronics has corroded somewhere, and broken the circuit, The change motor may have failed, but if the electronics had seen a request, but no subsequent motor movement, I'd have expected a warning to be displayed.

Mike aki Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 It's a 1995 could there be a fuse somewhere that has blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Other possibilities are that the transfer shift motor is missing - seen that a couple of times. Also the ECU's used to burn out,take the ecu out and shake it,if it rattles its burnt out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike aki Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Ok thanks will give that a go as I get in to start it, it says Gear lever nuetral on dash. But in fuse bays found this should there not be a relay for the low range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 That's why I say you should source a copy of the RAVE CDs. There will be web-site you can download from, you don't need the physical discs. As a '95 any version will do, I think I used 11 or 12. The other way of saying this is, I don't recall the detail, I would have to read my copies of RAVE, why shouldn't you? It is your car.

Mike aki Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ok I will download them later today. Looks like the guy I bought it off has been messing about with it found a low range button and one of the small Siemens's relays in a compartment.
