Hello. Classic shape, 2005 model.
No front wheel drive. Have replaced solenoids, and very rusty vacuum pipes to actuator. No better. They couldn't have made the system more complicated if they'd tried!
When I disconnect the actuator rod (behind the rubber gaiter) the part that goes into the front diff appears to be stuck - will only move about 1 mm (the other part of the pin, the bit that goes into the diaphragm on the right hand side will move against spring pressure about 12 mm.
Can anyone explain what the mechanism inside the diff looks like, or how it works, or how it may have seized / broken / failed?
I don't really want to strip the diff, in case I can't get it back together and the vehicle is immobilised... Local dealer has a waiting time of 6 weeks!
At one point, I did manage to shoogle the rod a bit, and obtained front wheel drive, but no green light and the rear diff lock wouldn't work (it needs the green light on, in order to operate).
I've also seen contradictory statements regarding which way the rod moves when 4x4 is engaged. Does it go into the diff, or out of the diff, to engage 4x4? Anyone know?
Thanks for any help.
