Is it in H or L ????

Are you sure its not in Neutral on the 4wd stick, try moving it another click.

Ensure your in Neutral on your normal gear changer first.

i assume that if in neutral on 4wd gearstick auto lever is in 2wd?
is this right , tony

[marky]

4wd stick should be in H position for normal 2wd select neutral with normal gear shift then move 4wd H-L lever into H default is 2WD unless you press the button.
L position is permanent 4WD

Neutral on the 4wd stick is another neutral to the one on the gearbox, Auto or manual it dosn't matter, you won't go anywhere, not matter what you do with normal gearstick.

They work independantly from each other. Some systems don't have a N on the 4wd shifter, just L and H and the 4wd button on the side, so it desn't coyuld for them. But you can get the lever not engauged between the two, and get no drive still.

Ensure your in Neutral on your normal gear changer first.

Or park.
