| 4wd not engaging
I'm fairly certain the four wheel drive function on my brother's 2000 Kia Sportage is not engaging. The 4wd is one of those electrically operated shift on the fly types. I watched the vehicle as it attempted to go up kind of a slippery snow covered inclined driveway and only the front wheels spinned, but not the rear wheels. In the past, with the 4wd engaged with this vehicle, it had no trouble going up the little hill with the same surface condition. The driver had turned on the 4wd and the indicator idiot light on the dash also indicated it was in 4wd.
What's likely the cause for the 4wd not to be engaging? What might be a way to troubleshoot to any extent? |
