Transfer Case - Question

[airline tech]

Just a question for anyone who has had the Shift Motor (Off) and manually placed the transfer case into (Neutral)

Since there is (NO) real detailed information of what action is taking place when (Neutral Tow) is selected and looking at how the system (operational) is commanded via the relays for normal operation.
Nowhere is a description of where (Neutral Position) is actually at - if you were to (wrench) the shaft.
I know the last one I messed with (GM) I think it was a spring-loaded position between 4-Hi and 4-Low.

So basically, trying to understand (Relay) control from - Place in 2-HI -(Step) of the procedure, then select the IPC (Neutral Tow)
Where is the Shift Motor (Driving) and what is the physical position (Between 2-Hi & 4-Low) or is it a position outside of that (Like full CW or CCW)

So basically, the only way to know is to have actually (physically) moved the shaft to get it into neutral.

This is just a curiosity question as I am looking into the possible reasons on how or why some are having issues - Flat Towing and How or Why is the truck coming out of (Neutral Tow) on its own or owner not following procedures.

The engineer in me says we would absolutely be friends.

Well, If the Ranger Follows the F-150 - as via Ebay pics we do not have the indication plate like the F-150 does.
But at least it is most likely that the Ranger follows this (Direction) of rotation
So, the CCW Relay moves from 2-Hi to 4-Hi and 4-Low
CW Relay -4 Low -4-Hi - 2-HI

So, I am guessing that (physical) NEUTRAL is in between 2-Hi and 4-Hi and the only way to get into (Neutral) Electrically is (Neutral Tow) and when in neutral tow the indication (Message) will show.
The frustrating part - is the wiring diagrams -do NOT show this

F-150 (Transfer Case)
This is ONLY if the Ranger follows the same direction

Is there any more info on Broncos? They share a transfer case directly.

Literally what I was thinking when I was reading the question @airline tech asked?

I worked on a '90 Bronco II a few years ago and that is as I remember that transfercase/shift motor working.

Remember we are all in class & being probed by the instructor to test our knowledge (or lack there of). ? I love Airline tech.
