KIA Sorento 4WD not enguaging

Hi, I have a KIA Sorento 4x4 and the 4WD LOW indicator light comes on from time to time by it's self. I live in Seattle and we just got a BAD snow storm, so naturally I went to use the 4wd, and it won't enguage. Only the back wheels are spinning. Any thought's as to what may be happening? ie - Transfer case fluid? Bad switch?

-Thanks

    4WD light comes on and stays on... But 4wd not engaged.

    sometimes in tight Left turns (turning off mainroad to side road ) transmission will not downshift or allow switching to manual.

Always make sure that whenever you engage into and out of 4x4, your gear lever is on N and not P.

so to reset it in now, switch on your engine with the hand brake up. set the gear lever to N, turn the knob to 4x4 Hi... wait 10 secs....switch it back to 2Hi...wait 10 secs and then return the gear lever to P and it should be ok.

IP Brake light has come on in my 2004 Kia Sorento.. what does this mean?
Kia Sorento parking brake or brake fluid dash warning light - this light is illuminated when the park brake is applied, the warning light should go out when the parking brake is released. If the light does not go out it indicates that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low and you need to pull over and top up at your first opportunity.

1-check parking brakes not applied
2-check brake fluid
3-if it is too low have the brakes checked they might be wearing out it doesn't mean you have a leak but when the brakes wear out the become thin causing the caliber piston to push out more lowering the oil level in the reservoir

The 4 wheel low light is on but its not in 4 wheel drive but the trans will not change to overdrive
Are you sure it's not in 4 wheel or do you mean that it's just not switched to 4 wheel? Sounds like a bad indicator switch in the transfer case which is indicating 4 wheel low to the ecu which might not allow overdrive due to speed constraints of the 4 wheel low system.

Dashboard light is showing all 4 wheels. Is the car out of balance or do I need an alignment
Hi!

I think that means you have a low tires pressure on the 4 wheels.
