Some Toyota Tacoma owners report experiencing issues with their four-wheel drive system, such as the switch not engaging and the indicator light flashing, even after replacing the motor. These problems may be attributed to a faulty actuator or transfer case motor, which can persist despite replacement efforts. Additionally, owners should check for electrical issues, including broken wires or blown fuses, that could affect the functionality of the four-wheel drive system. Physical damage to the actuator housing or wiring may also prevent proper engagement. Furthermore, concerns with the transfer case itself can hinder the system's operation. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is advisable for owners to seek professional diagnosis to determine the underlying cause of the persistent problems.
