On ice, attempts to turn on four wheel drive don't seem to work, front wheels take all the power
SOURCE: my four wheel drive is not working my front tires
small vacum hose i replaced it twice and will have to do it again it seems to happen about every two years after five years of age
SOURCE: 4 wheel drive wont engage on kia sportage 2001
there are vacum line one on each side behide the wheels see if they are broke or leaking i had the same problem
SOURCE: goes in to four wheel drive but front tires are
Look at the back of the front wheels there is 2 black pipes, 1 for the brakes that conect to the brake unit (callipers) and the other one is the vacume pipe. Most of the time it is damaged. This pipe is softer and thinner than the brake pipe. It will have a inner pipe and outer sleeve (pipe) that is loose from the main pipe, just to prtect the inner pipe. It can have a leak under that sleeve. ENJOY from Willem Potchefstroom SA
SOURCE: when in 2 wheel drive
you can tell by looking underneath the vehicle-if it is rear wheel drive (primary) the rear axle will have a 'pumpkin' in the center of the rear. I do not know of any 4wd that is primarily fwd-so I would think yours is rwd.

Best and cheapest to fix is to replace vacuum lockers with manual lockers. It is easy to do. Only 6 bolts per front wheel. This is the most trusted way of 100% engagement.

When I turn on the running lights, all the appropiate dash and rear lights turn on except the front grill lights. The running lights on both sides in the front don't come on.
