definitive 4wd help thread

[maddmax91]

well ive been scouring the threads lately for help with the 4wd on my '98, and have found tons of information. tons. so much that its hard to keep track of.

so i was hoping that you guys wouldnt mind making a definitive list of solutions for my problem, so i dont have to keep posting after every suggestion fails.

so heres my problem: no 4wd. its winter and ive tried to put my jeep into 4lo and no luck, no light, no increased control. I know the proper way to engage 4wd and still no luck.

my dad said if its a transmission problem itll cost more than the Jeep is worth, but i know from you guys that there are a boatload of other reasons 4wd wouldn't work.

so if you guys could help me out and list possible reasons and ways to fix them so that the most novice of a mechanic (me) could figure them out i would greatly appreciate it!!!
