How do i manually unlock 4 wheel drive on a 2005 dodge dakota

I got this free Pdf manual from reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of the 20 times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years

At best as I know the 2005 Prado is all time 4WD vehicle.
Is the engine running ? Can you shift the gears ?
May be something is broken in the drive train...
As a suggestion you can go home by locking the centre differential, proceeding at low speed and checking for noises .
Pls. let me know if it helps...

hi i have a problem with my 2003 dodge Dakota i have it in 2h but it switches into fwd on its own can anyone help me with this problem

wow, gee ... try shifting /disengaging in reverse?

Sounds like a drive shaft U-Joint or a brake noise.

Be sure to put the truck in neutral, while engine is running, while you disengage from 4 wheel drive (low) to 4 wheel drive (high) and then finally to 2 wheel drive. It is critical to shift transmission into neutral when switching out of 4WD Low, as indicated in your owner's manual. Hopefully, this will help to FixYa problem!

needs oil you might have an oil leak,but what you tell me it sounds like no oil.adrian,,,,

I think this truck is electronic 4 wheel drive. You need to check the 4 wheel drive fuses first, then check that the plugs in the transfercase are tight. pull them off and see if they are clean and dry then plug them back in. might also be a relay.

A Dodge Dakota with 4-wheel steer? Do you happen to mean 4-wheel drive?

If so, you should not operate the vehicle in 4-wheel drive when you are traveling on a hard, high-traction surface. When in 4x4, the transfer case connects the front and rear axles, and does not allow for differentiation of wheel speeds necessary when turning. This is compensated for when driving over low-traction terrain because the tires slip easier.

Basically, the jerking, bucking and locking of the truck is due to the binding. This will eventually lead to damage in the driveline. If the roadway isn't covered in snow, there is no need for the 4 wheel drive to be engaged.

it could just be a fuse check to see if all your fuses are good . if not it could be the switch relay that is shot.
