I noticed this a few weeks ago. When I filp the switch from 2wd to 4x4. the indicator light comes on but it would not always be in 4x4. Then Saturday it started it again. I turned it off and on then to 4x4 and it worked, but later in the day it would not engage in 4 wheel at all but indicator light said it was.


We could hear a click in the solonoid by the front drive shaft ( where the 4x4 switch is wired to ) but it was like it would not engage.

Anyone have any advice or similar problems????

Well you know that you are getting fire to the switch, I would say pull it and see if it is moving.

update to post

I have researched the part I am calling a solonoid and it is actually the front clutch assembly - if it is not electrical, hope I can get a clutch kit for this thing.
