Stuck in 4wd was created by Mattch5150
Hi all. The jimny 2005 manual has been working well. It needed a clutch adjustment but cable was seized. Garage fitted a new clutch cable yesterday. When driving yesterday put into 4wd. Car is in 4wd but green light flashing. Will Not go into 2wd or 4l. It was working fine day before cable change. Do you think it is likely connected to cable change. I've checked vacuum pipes,cleaned filter, had wheels off to check hub lines. Checked wires near transfer box. Driving forwards and back but nothing. When I pull black pipe off vacuum port I can hear vacuum when plugging it back in. It Will go back on Monday but cannot drive it far stuck in 4wd. I've jacked wheel up in neutral and it cannot be turned. Very annoying !

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Is this the dreaded gearbox wind-up that I've heard about?
I'm sure someone told me that if you can bash it off a kerb or a rock it will jump out of it, but if that's not true I stand corrected.
Worth a try?
...Or a wire has got knocked off a solenoid sw?

Ive tried the wind up fixes no joy. I presume it had vacuum to put it into 4wd . The switches do absolutely nothing. Wish I had bought a land rover now!!. Thanks for listening all.

If you pull the vac hoses off won’t that disconnect the front wheels from the drive shafts?
So even though it’s in 4wd you will just be turning the front diff and shafts and not the wheels?
It could then be driven to the garage.

I'm not sure which hoses to pull off. If driven slowly without tight turns should be ok. Looking for a 4 x 4 panda now
