I really need help trying to figure out how to tell if your 4 wheel drive is completely disengaged or not. I got under my jeep and with someone inside reversing and pulling forward I noticed that my front drive line was turning, and I'm sure if it is supposed to do that when it is supposed to be disengaged. Ok hope to get some help here, thanks! By the way it is a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Thanks!

your drive shaft will turn all the time because you do not have selectable hubs!! when your light goes off its out of 4x4....wont do so until your vac-disco is disenguaged

yes your front drive shaft will turn when in 2wd. if you have any doubts, put it on some dirt and stomp on the gas

lift one of your front tires up and try turning, if it locks right up 4wd is engaged, if it spins then your n 2wd.

turn your wheel all the way. and let go of the brake. if it turns auto then that means its in 4wd.

Works for me.. I live in a dorm on an air force base.. 8x12.... No kitchen.. Think of a small motel 8 room... If you dont take advantage of being on this island and spend all your time out.. it would suck *** here.
