I tried to help a neighbor last winter pull a car out of a ditch. I was on a level packed snow, so almost as on ice. It was hit and miss as the 9-7x wants to start in 2WD, slip the rear wheels and detect the slippage, then slam the transfer case into 4x4, which also tends to slip the front wheels. In the end there was not enough traction after the slippage.
What would it take to force the transfer case motor to engage? Is there a way to command this via OBD? Some sort of test commnad, maybe? Otherwise, would there be any downside to wiring in a button that powers up the transfer case engage motor?
