How does 4 wheel drive high and low work?
Without an Auto setting, 4WD High is what you’d use in any situation that’s low-traction but relatively high-speed—a dirt road or snowy paved road. 4WD Low is strictly for slow off-roading or places where torque multiplication would really help you out (like deep sand).
Why is my truck not engaging into 4 Hi?
Start the engine and put the vehicle in 4 Low and observe what the shifter module motor does. If the motor rotates and is working, then the issue lies within the transfer case. If the motor only turns a little and mostly turns on 4 HI, then I recommend replacing the shifter module motor to the transfer case.
Why does my 4 wheel drive not engage?
The transfer case could pose another reason why your 4 wheel drive fails to engage. This could be due to the vehicle not coming to a complete stop to allow it to engage. This is because the splined pin and gears of the actuator need to align 100% with the gears inside the transfer case.
When to switch from 4WD Hi to 4WD Low?
If the driving conditions allow you to drive faster without risking damage to your 4×4 and you can safely go over 15 mpg, you can then confidently switch back to 4-High without any risk. Always ensure you stop first before engaging 4-Lo and slow down before reverting back to 4-Hi.

Why is my 4 wheel drive light not engaging?
If you don’t shift it into neutral, the 4wd light will continue to flash and won’t get into gear. Seems to be a common occurrence on these trucks. Dodge dealers recommend engaging 4-lo, then back in 2-wheel drive, then back in 4-wheel drive hi (4H). This sequence apparently resolves the problem.
Why does my 4 wheel drive stop working?
Not open for further replies. My 4 wheel drive recently stopped working properly. It is a 95 4 door Blazer electronic shift vacuum actuated. I replaced the vacuum actuator just recently before the snow fell. The lights flash when I turn the key on like they are supposed to.
