AAAHHHHHH!!! i tried to engage my four wheel drive (automatic switch with auto hubs) and nothing happened. i was in neutral and engaged it and nothing clicked in like it usually does. what could have gone wrong? i know i'm not giving a lot of info, but all suggestions would be appreciated.

Could be your wheel speed sensors.....but if I were you I would try disconnecting the battery for a while and reconnecting and see if that fixes it.
 






have you pulled your radio beza off lately? Also Check the fuse, sounds stupid but it could work.
 






i'm trying the battery pull tomorrow morning. makes sense since the whole darn thing is run with computers, and if it's anything like the computer that i'm typing on, then i'm surprised that the airbags don't deploy every time i switch on my windshield wipers. edgeranger, what's a radio beza? checking fuse good idea too. thanks guys. let you know tomorrow
 






oops guss I gorgot the L bezal. The pice that goes around the radio. at least that what some of the guys on RF call it.
 






i checked all the fuses and they seemed to be fine, then i disconnected the battery for a couple hours. i reconnected it and..... WHOOHOO!!!!! MY BABY WORKS AGAIN!!! Thanks guys, you're the best, specially jason_25. hey you've got the same name i do, pretty nifty. i'm so happy now that i just might go this evening and climb a pile of dirt at a construction site or something. thanks again guys
