!989 Wrangler 4x4 Problem

Ford Bronco or Explorer? They discontinued the Bronco in 1996. Is it stuck in 4 high or 4 low? Do you have a manual shifter or a push button? If you have an automatic electric system you may have a bad transfer case motor or switch. If you have the manual system, make sure that the shifting levers are free and not damaged or restricted from moving. Try rocking from forward to reverse while trying to shift out of 4x4.

These details will help.

Thanks.

you probably have a problem with the differential in the front it might be no good it looks like a rear end pull the cover off and check the gears

the hubs on the front wheels have a lock, turn this in the direction indicated by the arrow to lock the hub. When your'e done with 4x4 unlock the hubs again, they may be hot after a harsh or long drive in 4x4 so be aware of this.

if you have 4x4 in your sportage then pull the 4x4 shifter down and you'll be in 4high put it in neutral and push the shifter to the right and up to be in 4 low

yes thats what it sounds like....Cant really be sure. Seems like you know your Jeep go with your first choice.

ok, while stopped put car in neutral, shift transfer case lever to 4high or 4 low whichever you prefer, and voila put it back in drive and your now in 4x4

Has this Jeep been modified at all?
It sounds like the shifter cable was reinstalled backwards.
Specifically the 4-Low "Not Climbing Well". 4-Low should give you the best torque and hill climbing ability.
Do you feel any "Binding" in the steering wheel (difficult to turn)?
Remember a Jeep uses real driveshafts and differentials to give you 4WD - you cannot engage 4WD or 4-Low on dry hard surfaces. It needs a little bit of slip between the wheels for turns.
Check you're fluids too.

i have 2006 f250 4x4 will not engage unless i lock in hubs. once hubs locked in i can engage 4x4 by using electronic selector. why will it not engage when hubs are in auto and electronic selector is on 4high

if u got automatic front hubs stop put in park pull 4x4 shifter into 4 wheel
manual hubs at front wheels turn the hub locks to the lock position and then pull the 4 wheel shifter inti 4 wheel
also look over drivers sun visor if the tag aint worn off the direction are there... have fun 4 wheeling and keep the rubber side down
