I purchased this vehicle used, and while the 4x4 lights on the dash illuminate upon start up, pressing the buttons for either will not light them up on the dash any other time.
I keep feeling the 4x4 high kick in. I've checked the tires and pressure. Sometimes you can hear it, or feel the lurch when it switches, other times not. Though I have noticed that the moment it switches into 4x4 high, the estimated "miles until empty" goes down drastically. So if I look at that, I know whether or not I need to put it in neutral and press the 4x4 Auto button until it goes back to normal.
This is absolutely driving me crazy to not be able to put it into 4x4 when I want, but to have it randomly decided to do so while driving on paved roads/highways/interstates. Anyone have any suggestions?
