No rear wheel drive

Have a 92 & just noticed I have no drive @ the rear wheels. No fuse in the box to put it into FWD only, did put a fuse in & the FWD light came on on the dash so I'm assuming the systems working. Is there a sticky solinoid I can check???

Re: No rear wheel drive

I'm in the same boat. Most likely it's duty solenoid c/transfer valve assembly in the rear trans extension. Do you have a flashing (16 flashes) POWER light on start-up? If so you can read the code/codes to find out what's wrong. My POWER light is burnt out so I'm going to have to bring it to the dealer to have the codes read.

Re: No rear wheel drive

There's a world of knowledge on this site. I did some research with the search button a few weeks back because my AWD is not working either.
