| Post subject: | 4wd lever moving freely, not engaging |
So I tried to use my 4wd for the first time in several months a few days ago, and the lever just swings freely now; doesn't engage anything. I pulled a code for the 4wd switch circuit a bit ago, is this actually the issue? The display hasn't had the lights go on for years, but the 4wd was still engaging... concerned. Am I just looking at a new switch circuit or is something larger happening here? Some very recent history: I recently had a salvage transmission put in, with a GDE compatible torque converter, (97k) by a trustworthy mechanic and everything in that regard seems to be running great, unless this is a problem related to that install. I just got the GDE eco & trans tunes done Some older history: Driveshaft was replaced 3 years ago (bottomed out real hard on some rocks, was making a terrible noise) but the 4wd worked fine after that was done. |

I think that the cable connecting the lever to the transfer case came disconnected. Or the monkey who installed your transmission forgot to connect it. |

Yeah my first stop would be the mechanic who installed your tranny. If it was working when you first got it back then the connector may have come loose or popped off or something of that nature. I would like to know what the outcome was though so please give us an update if it was resolved. |

Don't speculate on it. Grab a piece of cardboard and have yourself a look see under your jeep. |
