After 14,000 miles trouble free went to use 4wd on muddy road and would not engage in 4wd.........

1990 Loyale liftback 5 speed with 4wd push button on gear shift knob,the 4 tires pic on dash used to light green when on,,,, NOW they do not come on, can hear a small qwick swish noise when you push button, the fuses are fine, wondering if anyone on this board would have a answer for me... Internal or maybe just a wire connection under car :-\

there are 2 vac lines hooked up for the push-button. sounds (literally) like you have either a leak in the hose, or one came unplugged....

Mick, you believe that would also keep the green lights from coming on.?

send me a PM with your number, as the only other RS in the world, maybe I can come up and we can look at it, G

 

ooo, just remembered the vacuum lines come off a little splitter by the driver side, it's on the fender close to the windshield wiper motor, follow the two lines down to the big ball sitting on the gearbox - that's the actuator

 

I guess you could make sure everything is secure and nothing popped off or is broken/leaking

Cool, under the hood looksie, that keeps my fat rump roast from going under the car.... I havent seen you on the board for awhile, your RS still on the road?

Great call Txakura:grin: The plastic air hose fitting is broke off under hood where you said, not visible to the eye, would have been awhile before i looked there, must have broke that when i changed the fuel filter last month...so i think that will be the fix...........Big thanks for that:banana:

That makes total sense, the filter is so close nearby it would have been easy to lean on the fitting or bump it while you were working.

 

Yes the RS is still together, unfortunately I have 15" studded Hankooks on it so I can't use it until I come up with some summer tires ($$$ issues)

 

I scored an RX, from Moscow, and it has been doing great. In some ways it's in better condition than the RS... not all hammered underneath, no major rust, but it's a little rough in other places. 6 to 1, half dozen to the other

The only RX ive seen in Moscow it had a black hood scoupe on it, is thats yours?

Yes, I had to cover a big hole in the hood - also missing the rear bumper cover.

I ve got a rear bumper for it, i have both white front and back bumpers and also a pair of front and back for a black rx.......name your color delivered to pullman/albion/colfax/moscow.........
