Why doesn't my 4 wheel drive work

Try bypassing the switch.. if that works,, its the switch..
..just an old method...
If the switch has two wires, disconnect the switch and see if it will go into 4WD.. if nothing happened.. then jump the two wires and see if it goes into 4WD...

If not..repost with more details about the switch.

not sure about that model but other polari I've worked on use electronic hubs to engage the four wheel drive. check the wiring to the hubs or possibly a bad switch.

On my 4 wheeler if I raise the front wheels off the ground and with the 4 wheel drive engaged you should not be able to turn the front tires two revolutions. You need to be more specific as to what you are trying to do because there are other electrical things that can be checked. Like if the 4 wheel drive will not engage. Previous test is only to see if the front end is engaged in 4 wheel drive.

Sounds like there dif is gone or drive shaft

Sounds like the switch or a relay since the front is not engaging.

Model? If you put it in regular 4WD it will usually only spin one tire. If you have diff lock and use it, it locks both front wheels but can be hard on front end parts. The front end will do some clanking and popping because it doesn\'t really like diff lock.

Take a test light go to front actuator and see if power there when you puss the switch check fuses
