Hey guys having a difficult time diagnosing my issue.
My vehicle is a 1996 Explorer 2D 4.0 v6 5 speed. Power everything & everything is functioning.
so I put the vehicle into 4wd (auto 4wd) i can hear the shift motor working, I inspected the vacuum axle disconnect, it works flawlessly. I put it into 4low, it works great. I have no flashing of lights indicating 4wd issue.
I jacked up the truck all 4 wheels off the ground. Put it into 4auto or 4low, the front wheels spin. Now if I depress the brake slightly or turn the steering wheel to almost lock the front tires completely stop (I know CV shafts binding) while the rear tires obviously are still spinning under a load from brake. If I introduce the parking brake in 4wd, still no power being transferred to the front wheels.
When I drive up a muddy hill the front tires DO NOT spin at all. My understanding is with the transfer case that when it’s engaged, the driveline to the front differential will spin the same as the rear driveline. Could my hall sensors bad? The reason I make that assumption is because when everything is engaged how come I am not getting power to the front axle?
what am I missing?
