didn't know there was such a thing on a fwd based awd system.

The awd system tells which wheel(s) need to spin, so each wheel will have an actuator.

The awd system tells which wheel(s) need to spin, so each wheel will have an actuator.

So, if the AWD system were to engage both actuators you'd have a AWD version of a locked axle, cool, Ford should advertise that.

after talking to tech he said that the code was just saying a four wheel drive fault but then heard the acuator engaging over and over again . said it would be like a 3 hour job to replace but it took like a week to get the part

there is 1 actuator motor for both front axels

1 week to get the part is amazing news.

So what was the outcome, has it been fixed yet?

2 hours for acuator repair and no problems form there out.
