[Tony h]

Hi just wondered if anyone can help me.My 4wd stopped working i have found that for some reason the wires on the back of the switch are no longer connected,the wires do not have as I would have thought be into a push on block instead they all have individual spade connectors.As I do not have a workshop manual iam unsure as to which wire goes where if anyone can help please

I am not entirely certain but 4wd is selected by default if there is not hydraulic pressure at the 4wd clutch pack. I will have a look at mine when I can and see if the switching the key has an effect on 4wd. If I can pull out the switch without breaking it i will.

Yes should be in permanent 4wd when no electric, possibly that has chewed the splines off the couplers on the driveshaft.

Tried mine today and 4wd would not select with the ignition off.

They're really good at that and chewing splines off driveshaft too. I'm on 3rd driveshaft and used countless couplers

Just check your front axle pivot isn't badly worn as it can put the shaft etc out of line when in 4wd as the axle rotates - which can be the root cause of those type of problems.

To be honest they are a pretty poor machine in my opinion but if you've already got one that doesn't help much.

Just to confirm (the 4wd on my tractor works properly) which ever way the switch is selected the drive remains in that mode if you turn of the key presumably cutting the power to the solenoid.
