For the 1998 MY the front axle uses a vacuum shift motor
Is the system ESOF ( Electronic Shift On the Fly ) or MSOF ( Mechanical Shift On the Fly ) ?
Lift and support the front of the truck so the front wheels are off the ground ( take safety precautions, chock wheels, jack stands, etc )
Key on, engage 4x4 and try to turn the front drive shaft.
If it turns it is a problem with the transfer case.
If it doesn't it is a front axle engagement problem.
If the problem is with the front axle engagement, check that the shift motor is operational
This is on the front axle. If it does not move, it could be a problem with the vacuum lines or the vacuum diaphragms.
The vacuum should be applied to the pink line if you are in 2WD, and the blue line when in 4WD.
Obviously check the fuses if you have the ESOF versions, to make sure the transfer case shift motor is operational.
All start dash indicated normal but would not engage when selected.Inspected all components. Disconnected battery positive to reset the PCM. Started, reselected 4WD and magic. ALL PHASES WORKING NORMAL. What a saving on parts
SOURCE: 96 f150 4x4 5.0L 4wd is not engaging
is it push button if it is make sure the relays are working if they are working make sure you are getting power to the servos in the transfer case
SOURCE: I have a 98 4wd drive blazer and the 4wd buttons
the module will pop off with a little pry take it off and make sure its plugged up in the back
SOURCE: 05 f150 4wd will not always engage
There are issues with the 4x4 system I.w.e ends ingesting moisture/water
into vacuum actuation system causing no 4x4 or ratcheting outboard I.w.e
ends. (Even if you don't go 4x4'n ) pull off vacuum hoses @ I.w.e ends
and check for moisture/water/rust also the I.w.e is not part of the
wheel bearing itself It is the part on the axle side (inboard) of the
spindle. (EVEN DEALERS CAT LISTED WRONG)Many shops just replace the
wheel bearing side this may fix the symptom but not the true cause of
damaged I.w.e. ! Check with a reputable dealer they should have info on this condition and repair procedure.
The integrated wheel end (IWE) system contains the following:
Vacuum reservoir
IWE solenoid
IWEs (spring loaded vacuum hubs)
Vacuum hoses
Check valve
The
IWE system uses vacuum hubs that engage the front wheel hubs to
the front half shafts or disengage the front wheel hubs from the
front half shafts.
The IWE solenoid receives engine vacuum from the vacuum reservoir.
When
the 4-wheel drive system is in 2WD mode, the 4x4 module (PCM)supplies a
ground path to the IWE solenoid to apply vacuum to the integrated wheel
ends (disengaging the front hubs from the front half-shafts). In 4WD
mode, the 4x4 module (PCM) does not supply the ground path to the IWE
solenoid, vacuum is not applied to the integrated wheel ends and an
internal spring keeps the front hubs engaged to the front half-shafts.
On
these issue, there are few solved help links for troubleshooting the
issue easily.-------
