awd problem
I have a 2005 awd...the awd isn't working...when i bought the escape i had tried to get it to work and it did and the light came on flashing 4x4...a few weeks later there was a noise coming from the rear end...nothing to do with my test ...i took it to the dealers mechanic and was told they would fix it and as far as i know they did...no noise...after i checked again, the awd is not working...i didn't check till months later...it's snowing here and found out it's not working....i am thinking maybe they disconnected it some how instead of fixing it....any opinion on this would be appreciated ...can it be disconnected ? what would they do to do that or why wouldn't it be working ?...thanks

It's unlikely they could defeat it without you getting an dash icon alert. There are one or two fuses but then again you'd get a dash icon.
You could have your wife move it slowly to see if the driveshaft is rotating, it should rotate all the time.

You can check the fuses, #18 and #35 on the inside fuse panel. Under the hood #19. All three mention 4WD.
