You can keep your hubs locked if you wish. Or, you can leave the transfer case in gear if you want. You can't do both. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, Reason to realese the hubs and case: because you are using power and fuel to run parts that are not needed, Its A waste.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Reason you cannot leave in 4X4 all the time: You notice that the vehicle slowes down when you turn the steering wheel? Well, That's the drivetrain binding up from massive stress on the gears and other parts because the tires are not traveling in an equal distance.

Should i just leave my front hubs locked or should i unlock them and will it stay in fourwheel if i leave them locked?

If 4-wheel drive is not needed, you should unlock the front hubs. Yes, the hubs remain locked even if your front transfer case is not set to 4-wheel drive, and this can be very hard on both the hubs and transfer case.


Is it okay to leave hubs on the 4wheel drive in lock position all the time?

It is ok to leave your hubs locked in depending on how far you want to go. I myself live on a mountainside and normally leave mine locked in when I stay near home going to town or something like that. When I hit any amounts of interstate I make it a rule of thumb that when I hit interstate the hubs are unlocked. It will decrease you fuel mileage I have noticed as well. You will be OK leaving it locked in around home but not all the time.

What causes the doors to lock automatically on a 1996 Hyundai Sonata The door lock switch has not been pushed and they don't do it immediately?

I had the same problem with my 1999 sonata when it was brand new. I would leave the car unlocked in my drive and come back out in a few minutes and the doors would be locked. After many trips to the dealer, they found a short in the right front door switch. I haven't had any problems since they replaced it.
