4x4 light goes solid but does not engage

I have a 1999 Honda Passport and I just recently started to have 4x4 issues. When the 4x4 button is pressed it goes solid as usual showing that the 4-wheel drive should be engaged but the front wheels do not turn. The 4x4 button works as normal but again...no 4x4 engagement as the front wheels do not turn whatsoever. Help!

SOURCE: 2005 f-150 4x4 not engaging

First of all, the problem was caused by lack of use of the 4x4. The fix was to have someone sit in the seat & turn the switch while 2nd person tapped on 4x4 solenoid underneath the truck (next to the gearbox (seen from rear of truck) about directly below middle-rear-seat). It must have become stuck (or rusted) together? Little taps while engaging switch 'unfroze' it. My 2 fuses that were blown were probably caused by overloading when I first tried to use the 4x4 while it was frozen out. Since fixing, just be sure to turn it on (and off) frequently, even if you don't need it. You don't actually need to drive with it, just engage it temporarily.

SOURCE: 4x4 wont engage

i would check to see if power is going to the 4 wheel drive aculator. if there is power then your aculator is bad. it is located at the front diff.

SOURCE: is the 1999 honda passport a front wheel or rear

Rear. In Europe was on sales until 2003 (last line made) by OPEL as frontera. Equipped mostly with 2.2 Turbo diesel engines, rear wheeler, ability to engage 4WD, under motion up to 60MPH, having automatic front diff locks, and despite the bad critics about crash tests and behaviour, well sold. Still on the roads.

you might have an actuator out, some of those have a shifter, but a solenoid still has to be actuated

sounds like u are having front drive line problems. the press button 4x4s are not a good idea to have. transfer cases go out very easily. so check front drive line.

When engaging manual transfer case into any 4wd spd, dahboard light "4x4" does not come on, and front wheels do not engage. Where should I begin to look for the problem?

1993 passport, it is not good. Had same issue and it cost me $600 bucks. entire rear end had to be replaced as bearing damage too. All done and runs good-but 4wd light does not light , but all works...Buying used combo cost $80 bucks less, than repairing parts and hoping all was ok--best i can do here.

I have the same car and the same problems. I think it may be a ground issue. Once the weather is a bit warmer, I will be checking the different connections. Does anyone else have any ideas.

This is telling you a electrical fault in the 4X4 engagement has occurred, most likely the engagement electric motor, pull it out and test the motor.
