Transfer box not disengaging

Hello again.

Nasty noise like transmission prob increasing with speed.

Changed wheel bearing which was shot (tool from big jim shop worked a treat)

Same noise

Put her in 4wd, green light flashing but seemed to be in 4wd (up a muddy road).
Pressed 2wd, noise gone BUT green light still flashing.
Drove around a bit, fine. Parked up, pressed and held 2wd button, light went out but noise back!

4wd again, then 2wd, noise gone light flashing.

Checked wheels- unlocked, wiggled prop shaft and is still connected to front shaft???

Seems transfer box not disengaging, any ideas? (push button type)

Ta muchly.

Just to add a bit.

The noise sounds like one hub has locked and is winding stuff up, but that's prob not it, it just has that sound.

I don't mind the front diff turning in 2wd as the hubs are unlocked and I can't see them locking on their own.
It's daughter's (greenpig) car though and if things went ***s up when she was driving, she'd throw a wobbly! :S

anybody?
Rhinoman knows, I bet.

I had a similar problem with mine and it was a hub not disengaging. Is the light still flashing? its worth unplugging the connector from the rear of the transfer case and spraying some contact cleaner in there.

Sounds like it's sticking in 4wd when you press 2wd and it's winding up.

Try reversing a short distance as you push the 2wd button.

Using an E10 socket take the freewheeling hubs off and check that one has not come appart.
