March 21, 201610 yr Drive snowy roads all winter no problems. Till I did. Stuck in resort park lot. AWD became FWD. No power to rear wheels. Everything else is fine,no noises,no fluid losses etc. Runs great. What broke?
March 21, 201610 yr any chance there is corrosion at the fuse location to disable AWD? that would be too simple... Edited March 21, 201610 yr by brus brother
March 21, 201610 yr any chance there is corrosion at the fuse location to disable AWD? that would be too simple... He'd have to have a fuse in there already and it'd be the other way around i.e. FWD being on all the time with fuse in, then AWD coming on out of the blue.
March 21, 201610 yr You can isolate the wire that controls the solenoid valve that controls the AWD, and try hooking it to +12V and seeing if you get any AWD out of it. (2003 and younger, +12V disables the AWD, 2004+ no voltage disables it). Pain in the butt to do, when there's no symptoms other than loss of rear drive there's not a lot to check without opening it up. Are you sure it was FWD only?
