Jimny auto advice needed

2002 model it goes into low on the auto box but not the 4x4 box. The light comes on when I select 4w but 4w is not engaging at all what electrics do I check any diagrams about in here fella

Hubs are not engaging at all I been reading about vacuums etc

You have 2 options then. One replace the vacuum lines either with a solid pipe or a flexible silicone , clean and regrease the existing hubs. Second abandon the vacuum system and either permanently set the existing hubs in drive or purchase some manual hubs . There's as many opinions on which is best as there are owner's of Jimny. I have manual hubs because I believe that the compromise of having to get out of the car to set them is offset by the reliability of a purely mechanical system. Others disagree.

2nd option sounds best fella how expensive is it to replace with manual hubs

Cheapest: www.jimnybits.com/jimny/drivetrain/jimny-free-wheel-hubs.html

Better quality: www.jimnybits.com/jimny/drivetrain/jimny...free-wheel-hubs.html

If you have standard sized tyres I'd imagine that the cheaper ones are fine.

I'd still expect the revs to be higher in low range regardless of whether the hubs are engaging or not but I have no experience with auto Jimnys.

I wouldn't waste time trying to resolve auto hub issues, there's too many to mess about with!
