Default engine brake failure

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]i have a 03 praire 360. the engine brake had ascreeching noise in it when it engaged and disengaged. so i took it off ,and took it apart to see if i could find the problem and found nothing. so iput it back on and turned the key it cut in and staarted to move then the 4wd light started to blink. i went for a ride the light still kept blinking and the brake still wouldnt work. so what did i do wrong? it was working before i removed it now when i installed it back on it wont work at all. oh by the way the 4wd drive actuator still works. and beforewhen i ride before the brake gave out altogether the 4wd light would come blinking on and the brake wouldnt work. i would have to shut off the bike to get the light to stop and get the brake working again. when i shut the key off and turn it back on agin the brake actuator woulkd cut in for a breif second the everything would be ok again . what could be the problem? please someone respond it is very disgruntling [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

inside the belt cover you wil see the metal guide the actuator sits in (guess that's what you'd call it) well as that actuator turns it will travel up & down that metal guide. The actuator needs to be to the top of it's travel in order for it to work correctly you can do this by a direct connection from your battery until it gets to the top of it's travel, if it's out of position tit wont work...
