2015 Latitude, V6 engine. I have had the SVC 4WD light come on intermittently for a few months. I have over 100,000 miles on it, so it is out of warranty. It usually is only on for a few minutes at a time, then it goes off. It comes on during most trips, but not all. It is staying on a little longer now though. One weird thing, it will occasionally come on for less than a second and then go right off. I did a quick check to see if there were any obvious wiring/connector issues, but didn't find much. Guessing the connections are on top, so it will have to be dropped just to see them. I finally had it on when driving by a dealership, so I pulled in to have it checked. It is code C14A797 PTU Motor-Component or System Operation Obstructed or Blocked. The service guy was very helpful. He said it is likely the PTU unit. I told him I like to wrench on my own stuff when I can, he said I should pull it first to make sure that is the problem. So I go to check with the parts dept, he says it is about $550 for the part. They are not in stock, they are on backorder, about 2-3 weeks out. I neglected to get a part number from them. Does anyone know what the part number for the PTU is? Rock Auto lists "4WD Actuator, and lists 2 Mopar parts, one for $437 and one for $617. No pictures. So not sure that is even the right item.
So first question is does anyone know the part number?
Second question, has anyone replaced their own PTU? I did not find much on here about the actual job, or the part number. If so, how hard of a job? I'm a fairly decent wrench, done a few clutches, water pumps, timing belts, heads & valves on an old V8, but usually with a factory manual and some forum guides to help. A little nervous about tackling this with no real guidance, and it's my daily driver, but will probably try it anyways.
Thanks in advance for any help.
