damn 2000$ isn't a bad price considering the amount of work needed for such a job from a dealership.

if the light is solid than yes it is the solenoid, you should be able to fix it. what did you do for the sheared splines? How did they solved it? New Diff? That must have cost a lot of money!

About the aftermarket solution for the diff wire, the thing is only us in northern places where there is salt have these problems, where they don't use salt on the roads the problem must not be there. if you have a flashing awd, that is not it, the wire problem on the rear diff would lit a...

sorry pictures aren't really in order but you get the point. last one

If there are people interested in fixing their awd without buying a new transmission because of the transmission spline problem, you can buy a new set of gears that needs to be installed in the diff and on the transfer case shaft. There is a shop in Russia that actual can install those if you...

yes you can remove the driveshaft, in fact, you don't really have the choice... The light won't show on the dash as long as you keep the rear diff in place. The light will flash for 10 seconds if it needs the awd and realises it doen't work (like if you accelerate quickly on slippery road) but...

I also decided not to swap the coolant, i am just waiting for the car to die on it's own and figure i will be getting the water pump failure long before the acid coolant can cause any sort of damage to something else. 2007 with 200k miles, don't know if the coolant was changed by previous owner...

unfortunatly there is no such thing. There might be some new one cheaper on internet and ebay than the dealership though

a bunch of ford with the same transfer case have the transfer case breaking too but they don't break the transmission with it, the transmission splines problem is only on the cx9 i beleive

I really am clueless about all of this, this is the first time i see something like that on these cars. Best would be to find an other CX9 and swap over some of the electronic until you find the defective one but that is not an easy task.

it certainly has nothing to do with the transfer case but seems like an ecu or something is going wrong. I am afraid that is not going to be an easy one to fix.

thanks for the followup, this will certainly help others in the future. The joy of forums, information that actually stays.

yeah sorry didn't read that right, yes just take out driveshaft and you are done, nothing special to do afterwards. I wouldn't mind as a buyer having the transfer case off if it come with the car, what would bother me is someone putting it back and not declare the awd doesn't work

yes you can leave the the transfer case off as well as the driveshaft. As far as the rear diff goes, i personnally left mine in place because if you take it out, you will need to remove the rear axles and the rear axles also have the teeth for the ABA so if you remove the rear axles, you will...
