99 jeep grand cherokee limited, have no 4wd. fluid was empty when i got truck filled case, still no 4wd. 242 quad trac. put vehicle on lift shifted into drive rear wheels only engage. any ideas?
If it was ever towed with the wheels on the ground (not dollied) then the transfer case is probably "burned out" and you will need to replace it. These models of jeeps are full time 4WD and MUST be dollied or towed on a carrier or rollback type truck. Unless they have manual locking hubs.

- OK, well gotta satrt from start, you know.. Ok, next - Check actuator lines to front axle. I have had several "come off" and some have had the seals blown (if vacuum operated) will either default to unlock, or in like ford stay in the mode they were in when the seals failed. If electrical, is there signal to the actuator servo?
