As much as the trx4 locking servos have been discussed and despite my searching... had to post a new thread about this cause I still can't figure it out. And bear with me as this is my bud's truck and he's not on here... sorry.
Anyway- When we were crawling last week, he discovered that his front locker didn't seem to be fully engaging. Both wheels would spin but when he put a load on the drive side, it didn't seem like it was locking.
So he started poking around... checked the axles/ hubs/ differential gears and couldn't find any issues. Then he discovered that when the locker switch is in the "OFF" position, the servo arm is oriented in the center position. And when switching to the f/r locker position, it pushes the cable towards the front instead of pulling it to engage the locker mechanism.
Not sure if it's relevant but he just replaced the receiver recently. I told him to make sure that the tx/ rx is bound and he says that they are. I also told him to make sure that everything is wired to the new rx correctly. He confirmed that it's all good. I asked him if the servo saver is loose or damaged and whether the throw is smooth/ deliberate or chattering/ wonky. He said that the operation is smooth.
Any ideas? I'm going to take a look at it in the next day or two but until I get it in my hands, I'm just wondering if there's anything specific that y'all would suggest I inspect or if you can think of any reason that ( from what he described) the servo throw might have reversed itself. Sorry I don't have the truck in my hands right now but any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
