Diagnosing no 4wd
A friend has a 91yj 4.0 currently with no 4wd, not even the light. I know
it's the wiring harness or the actuator, but does anyone have any diagnostic
tips to isolate which one it is? Heck, the light could be a bad bulb....
But I put his jeep in 4 and it's definatly not engaging.

Re: Diagnosing no 4wd
Usually that just means the vacuum connection fell off the front axle.
That would be the first place I would look anyway. The second place is
where the vacuum line passes the exhaust on it's way to the t-case. I
have seen a few touch there and melt.

Not sure if the vacuum harness for the '91 runs under the battery tray or
not. If so, it may be eaten up by acid.
