AWD Problems For Legacy

[eternalwintersneversummers]

hey i just got a '91 legacy 2.2L with full time 4WD, and the rear wheels
arent engaging at all it just remains in front wheel drive. ive checked
underneath and yes the rear drive shaft is bolted in and looks absolutley
good. so seeing how i live in colorado and i dont wanna get stuck in a
blizzard, can anyone help me?

thanks, jesse

I believe there is a fuse that disables the awd. Your manual should
cover that.

I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion.

Don't know what he did, but it's dead easy to tell on my 2.5L -- just
put a fuse in the FWD fuse socket and observe how normal starts from
intersections now make the front wheels squeal.

firstly, i was drivin up an icy driveway wen BEHOLD! it woodnt make it up
the icy driveway!! so henceforth i backed it down and tryed again... only
to be met with bitter defeat for a second time! so relentlessly, i backed
it down again, questioning the utter grippyness of my tires. this time,
just outta curiousity, i opened my door and stuck my head out the window
to see if all four weels were turnin, and BEHOLD wat i BEHELD! the back
ones wernt. then wen i got home i jacked all four weels up at the same
time and only the front ones were spinnin. the end.

The fuse turns the 4wd off.

hey i took my car to a local freend of mine hoo is a mechanic the other
day, and we traced the problem to a 4wd silinoid in the tranny so wen i
replace that everythin will be shhweet!

tooduhloo, jesse
