Dan_Mercian 27 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just bought one because I've moved into the woods. Anyway, first time Ive got suck on soft wet boggy grass, stopped, put it into neural, put the clutch down, shifted the stick into 4h, the green light came on and started flashing, but that's as far as it got, I don't think it actually went into 4wd because the rear wheels still span. So I took it out of 4h, the green light stopped flashing and I just floored it and luckily got out. Did I do something wrong? I just want to make sure I did everything right before I take it to the garage. (The rear diff lock works fine, also when in 4L the engine revs a lot lower so that must work but the green light just flashes and I'm pretty sure 4wd doesn't engage) I've tried joining the L200 forum but a week later I'm still awaiting a verification email..

Lab 10,979 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 What age is this motor? You don't need to be in neutral to engage 4wd!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Mercian 27 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 2003 '53' with 54k, I've looked on google but all there is is something about a sticking actuator and air lines but that's when the green light is flashing in 2wd, mine doesn't flash in 2wd only when I drop it to 4wd. It hasn't got them free wheeling hub things (if that's a photo of the wheel) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 You did everything right mate ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 How far did you try and drive in 4h sometimes with the auto lock hubs it takes a few yards to lock them. It could be the trucks never been used in 4x4 so everything is seized Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lakeland 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I did have an 04 all you do is push the small gear stick in to 4hight or 4low light flashes then stays on but do it standing still drive slowly and it engages in away you go.be warned I sold mine not a good truck around that year sorry but just be warned cost me a fortune hope yours is a good 1.thanks lakeland Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 If its not going in try putting the handbrake on and try and reverse......thats a good trick for getting it out of 4wd if its struggling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Mercian 27 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Cheers guys I'll give it another go, if it doesn't work I'll take it to the garage when they re open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
