Testing Front Vacuum to 4x4?

hi all,

I 4x4 on the fly isn't working, I can lock in manually on my hubs, but want to be able to fix my in cab switch.

Anyone have any ideas of how to test and repair this?

thanks,
Brook

Thanks for the info...

Quick question... did you 4x4 lights come on on the dash?

Could you manually lock yours into 4x4?

Thanks,
Brook

Yes light did work. Mine ended up being the pump.

If your 4x4 indicator illuminates and you can operate your 4x4 by manually locking the front hubs, your issue is caused by any one or more of the following: vacuum line(s), hub seal(s), PVH solenoid and/or circuitry or the vacuum pump itself.
