very low voltage at fuse 19

[tommycon45]

i recently posted a question about my 4x4 not working.
trying to eliminate the prob,
NO clicking of solenoid when brake pedal is pressed
NO drop or change in power steering level when engine started and pedal pressed
just tried a voltage test at the contact point where fuse 19 is held and i`m only getting 0.33volts, i would of thought to have seen 12v and 14 when engine ticking over,
does anyone know what the voltage should be????????

not sure what it should be , but it doesnt get its power from there so it may only be low voltage, especialy if the power feed to the 4x4 ecu isnt geting there , theres another fuse that powers it, the one they cut to fit the on/off 4x4 switch

oh right thanks for that, was thinking of running a inline fuse wire to the sender part of the connection to see if it works, hoping that the fuse will blow before any damage is caused.

probably the temp sensor on the box failed (2 wire) as that kills the juice at the fuse as well

mine is the single wire type, would that do the same???
cheers

just a update, posted that my car caught fire, melted the hose down to the 4x4 box, managed to find the whole pressure system 2nd hand, replaced it today, fresh bulb and the 2 switches, GUESS WHAT??????
my 4x4 is working again, been 2wd all winter!!
thing is now the tyre treads are different, prob 2mm at the most, wondering if town driving will be ok are should i get new ones.
not sure if i should post this under gearbox section.
anyway just want say thanks for your advice lads, much appreciated

id not risk running on odd tyres (well within reason) if your sure they are within the 2mm zone then you should be fine

they are all the same make, got new alloy and tyre package.
would the temperater switch not just shut down the box then start it up again when its cooled down?

[Rusty_CallyT]

yes but its a bit slow to do so and damage can occur, repeating it will weaken the thing and cause issues with the VC

its certainly not recommended!
