Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forum, but have had my '93 Sport 2Dr since it was new. It now has about 140k miles on it and is running strong. Except... the other day after a good snow here in Seattle, the 4-wheel drive would not engage. As a result, I cannot get out of the neighborhood I'm in due to the steep hills.
The symptoms include: Push button lights on dash do not come on, 4-wheel drive never engages. I've looked for blown fuses, but couldn't find anything obvious. There does not appear to be a specific fuse for this feature.
It's been about a year since I've engaged the 4-wheel. Brakes were replaced about a year ago and new rotors and pads installed. New front bearings as well. Wasn't sure if this would affect anything, so I thought I would include it.
Right now the truck is almost unuseable given the snow and ice conditions where I live.
Any insight on what the problem could be or where to start the diagnostics would be appreciated before I have it towed to the shop. I'm pretty handy mechanically and willing to take most things apart to find out what the problem is.
Thanks for any help!
