Hey guys, new to the board. Browsing a bit I can't find a definitive solution and I've done quite a bit without replacing big parts.
Changed the transmission oil in my 2004 Dodge Durango 4.7. Immediately after doing this, the vehicle would automatically switch into 4 lock even when the switch wasn't turned to it. It happens at all speeds and prevents me from going on the freeway, now (70 mph freeway).
I've disconnected the battery. I've checked the tranny motor and its connections. I've checked for leaks. And I've tried flipping the switch on and off a few times to hopefully reset it. Nothing fixed it.
The only thing I haven't done yet is check the switch to see if it is broken and making contact when going over bumps or something, but I haven't seen a pattern to when it activates and when it doesn't. Sometimes it happens, and sometimes I can drive it and it is fine.
Other than that, I am told to replace the TCCM. But I don't see how that could go bad from an oil change.
Can anyone explain what is going on and how to fix it? It still switches over when I use the switch.
If you need photos or additional info, please let me know.
