Hello all, a newb here.
my 98 4runner won't engage 4H, no light, no sound of engaging nor any errors.
I've heard about problems with actuator, costing $2000+ or the hose problem, or simply (or is it not simple) a jammed actuator.
During last summer (about 4 months ago) it worked FINE, I was really happy with it pulling a boat from boat launch pad, (they are slipperly you know) but all of sudden, it stopped working one day... until today.
Not that the snow is here I really need to use 4H but I really do not know where to look first.
I am not a auto mechnic, but I have knowledge in tools and cars. If it's not very complicated, I can probably try few things myself before heading to the service. any suggestions on where to look at?
ps - I haven't check if 4L works or not, but I am suspecting that it wont work either unless the mechnism is totally different. in 4L, I can feel the torque, but never really drove enough to see if 4WD was working or not. I'll check on this tomorrow on the snow.
Any help is appreciated.
