I've used four wheel drive LOW a few times
( the surface has to have " give " and the speed is limited )
* in the winter time to drive out of a snow filled ditch along a highway , to
drive out of a muddy road when I got stuck , and to drive up a hill when I
had to go offroad ( in the last 18 + years )
Four Wheel Drive: When engaged, the power is applied to all four wheels. Low: Some four wheel drive systems have a high and low setting. at Low setting speed is compromised for higher torque and vice versa.
It could be something as simple as a bad fuse
No. No no no
Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading. Four wheel drive low is for special circumstances such as getting out of deep mud and snow or towing a trailer up a steep hill. Four wheel drive should never be used on bare, dry pavement. Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.
The benefit of driving 4 wheel drive cars is that you have the option to engage or disengage the four wheel drive when you need to. Four wheel drive is great on low traction surfaces (off road, snow, etc.).
A problem with your four wheel drive system has been detected. Have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes.
The control trac four wheel drive system has auto , high , and low settings on the 1999 Ford Explorer
( No ) not as long as the surface has " give " such as gravel / grass / snow / dirt etcetera . Of course your speed is quite limited in four wheel drive LOW The last time I used four wheel drive LOW was to drive out of a snow filled ditch beside a highway
2002 jeep liberty limited four wheel drive is stuck in 4 low how do I get it unstuck?
My 1995 Ford Explorer XLT has the Control-Trac 4X4 system . It has settings for 2 wheel drive , automatic 4 wheel drive , and a low range 4 wheel drive ( because it has a 2 speed transfer case ) The low range four wheel drive has power going to all 4 wheels equally and is only used where the tires have " give " such as gravel or off road because the speed is limited to slower speeds ( I think mine is limited to 35 MPH in 4X4 LOW )
Yes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You could have rear wheel drive or, The control trac four - wheel drive system which has ( 3 ) settings on the control just to the right of the radio ( 4x4 AUTO , 4x4 HIGH , 4x4 LOW ) or , The all wheel drive system , which provides power to all four wheels all the time and does not have a low range like the Control Trac system
Defective clutch if it ia a manual, or bad trans or low of fluid if it is an A/T.
