At one point while offroad I had the vaccuum lines for the four wheel drive fail. If you go to the intake manifold, there should be a few ports that are blocked off. With the vehicle running unblock and check for vacuum. If you have vacuum, you can connect an extra bit of vacuum line directly from the port to the actuator that engages the front right axle shaft. This effectively bypasses the vacuum switch on the transfer case.

1992 dodge Dakota front axle does not engage when in four wheel drive?

Odds are the diaphragm is shot, in the central axle disconnect (CAD). You need to check if you have vacuum at the front axle, and if the vacuum switches from side to side, when you engage four wheel drive. If it does, your CAD is bad. If not, trace your vacuum lines to find the leak.


Why won't 4 wheel drive engage on 94 jimmy Push button and hear clicking sound behind glovebox?

On 93 S10 Blazer. (things to check)(may/may not be similar to 94) -front axle cable (make sure it moves freely) -vacuum actuator (possibly underneath the battery tray, check it holds vacuum) -4 wheel drive switch (on front axle, check the ball valve on it) -4 wheel drive vacuum switch (on transfer case, ball valve and vacuum) Mine turned out to be a bad axle cable, but it is very common for the vacuum actuator to leak vacuum, thus not engaging the system. There may also be a fuse/relay for 4 wheel drive to check.

Why won't your 1999 Ford F-350 shift from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive It has electronic shift on the fly and the fuse is ok?

It is run on a vacuum system. Usually it is because there is not enough vacuum available to do it. Try tuning your defroster off, and rev the engine just a little. If it wont work, you probably have a vacuum leak
