Rear brakes on 2005 F150
You can't remove the rotors because the emergency brake is tight on the
inside of the rotors. Make sure it's not engaged when you are working
on the rear brakes. Block the front tires for saftey. Then you have to
remove the rear calipers from the mounting brackets, there are two
bolts that hold the calipers on. Make sure you hang the calipers
securily with some wire so you don't damage the rubber brake line hose.
Then you need to adjust the emergency parking brake shoes in order to
remove the rotors. Theres a rubber plug on the backside of the rear
hubs, once you look at the back of the hub you'll see the plug. It's on
the top. Once you take out the plug, you need to use a screw driver to
turn the star spindel. You need to turn the star spindel
counter-clockwise in order to give yourself enough clearance to remove
the rotors. The beauty of this design is that ford incorporated a drum
and caliper system together, but it's difficult to take off the rotors
if the emergency brake shoes are to tight. The inside of the rotors
acts as the drums for the emergency brake system. I've done this and
it's not that hard, but, I did have to replace the emergency brake
shoes because they were worn out and the shoes fell off the metal
backing plates when I finally got the rotors to come off. They only
glued these shoes onto the backing plates, they don't rivet them so
take your time getting the rotors off or you can damage the emergency
brake shoes, but if you do they are cheap at napa. My service guide
says to install the new rotors, use a couple of lug nuts to hold it on,
then adjust the star spindal for the emergency brake all the way
clockwise until you can't turn it anymore, then you must back it off 8
clicks counter-clockwise. Make sure the emergency brake is not engaged
when you are doing this, the 8 clicks backwards compensates for when
you do engage the parking brake because the shoes expands outwards.
This adjustment sets the emergency brakes so they work properly. Once
the emergency brake is properly set you can't remove the rear rotors,
which is what your initial problem is. Then install the rubber plug
back in the hole, put on the new pads and calipers and you're good to
go.

- Auto inspections of the vehicle may produce results contributing towards restoration. For example, the auto technician makes the evaluation as separate arrangement from which problematic areas are ascertainable. The result findings are documented as diagnostic draft plans from which repair authorizations are achievable. At which point, diagnostic without repair requirements would least requires any further procedures. However, once the vehicles diagnostics produce result requiring expert vehicle repairs, the next sequence of procedures are initiated. First, vehicle repairs require constituent components either permanent parts or depleteable resources constituents prior to workshop initiation plans. Auto technician diagnostic plans would usually contain the damage of the vehicle. A decision to commence restoration of the faults would produce estimate drafts in parts repaired for either replacement acquirable, leasable or alternately. The next sequence includes calculations estimates in resources that would be required contributing towards entire workshop restoration process procedures.

From my experience there's a motor on the transfer case(C) that engages the 4wd --this is controlled by an electronic relay(B) mounted in the (approx.) rear well/behind door--- inside the vehicle which in turn is controlled by the god almighty computer(A) and what buttons you push. If A doesn't talk to B---C does not work ---A talks to B but B does not talk to C same result--If A talks to B and B talks to C but C does not work same results. If your handy with a meter you can check out some of this to see if power is getting to the motor on the transfer case--
Now do to various sensors on vehicle this may cause it not to function for safety reasons which at this time are unknown(
mismatched tires--wrong size tires--etc --sensors on wheels --I know it sounds goofy but this stuff happens) --but you might be able to Advance Auto, Auto Zone or someone with a code reader/computer and check it out -- also you can try some Ford Forums and see if this has happened to anybody else--- some times it's something simple as in a corroded/broken wire--- there's a lot of issues going on with
deteriorating wire connections across the board amongst a lot of vehicles -- check to see if you can obtain a wiring diagram from Auto Zone---the best I can for now

Things to check.
Is the starter working?
Is your changed battery fully charged
Check all battery cables for corrosion or loose connections. Both neg and positive cables both ends. Dirty or loose cables will not work to let the power through the way it should.
