The light stays on NOT flashing but at some point I noticed on the mud that front wheels are not turning . It's a 2003 Jimny . Could be the cv joints completely gone from previous owner? I heard 2 3 times some knoking on the right front wheel . THANKS a million
This sounds yet again like another example of the system not working true. Last owner of mine only realised this when she came to use 4x4 in the snow and then it was too late. Mostly we all change to manual hubs.

Pro's and con's, both manual and automatic, can generate a long debate, but a sanity check of the entire system (from time to time) can spare a lot of nerves....

That is an interesting comment. I guess in my case it was a question of certainty/reliability for the future, needing to get it working at the time and a long look at the existing clapped out system. Having had manual hubs on my SJ and LJ I quickly reached the conclusion that I did.florinelu07 wrote: Funny thing is that when 4x4 system fails, everyone fit manual hubs.....
