A.D.D. Solenoid: hoses mixed up! HELP!!!
Alright, so I'm clearly not a mechanic....I need help.
My 4WD has been messed up now for quite some time. The 4WD shifter inside (the H4, L4 thing), only works when I cross some of the hoses under the hood. I don't even know what this thing is called(I have by now. It's the Transfer A.D.D. Solenoid), but it's basically 4 vacuum hoses (two of which are attached to one another and designed to run parallel) that attach to 4 posts. These 4 posts are controlled by two switches (one blue, one orange), meaning two hoses per switch. The pic I attach should help with my poor description.
Anyway, I got stuck the other day and had to move around the hoses to get my 4WD to work. NOW, I cant remember where they are SUPPOSED to be, hence, I'm stuck in 4WD. Its a 1993 4runner, 6 cylinder. I was hoping that someone with the same runner could send me a pic of this area so I can fix mine and get back in 2WD. This unit is located (if you're looking at the engine from the front) high up against the passenger-side wall, practically right behind the main fuse box. I've looked online to no avail....please help!!!
Hopefully my thumb didnt block the pic too much. I was holding up the two of the hoses (the ones attached to one another) to give you a better shot of the unit. If you need more pics I'll gladly oblige!!!
