1996 Rodeo Isuzu - I put it in Winter Drive and now 1 rear wheel

Doesn't spin, or it's really slow compared to the other rear wheel tire.

We had ice/snow here yesterday and I put the Isuzu in Winter Drive for a few minutes and then came to a complete stop and now it will hardly move because the driver rear wheel won't turn (or is barely turning), while the rear passenger wheel is spinning like crazy. It works in reverse fine.

Based on another similar problem and it was fixed driving backwards, that's exactly what I did. I drove the Rodeo backwards and then would stop and put it in gear and did this for 10 minutes until I worked the 4x4 gear loose and now all four wheels run. I must say, I created quite a sight driving backwards in a Wal-Green's parking lot for 10 minutes.

My 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 four wheel disk rear wheels will not come off even without the lug nuts, why?

Because the wheels are corroded to the hub, causing it to seize. Leave one nut threaded on just a few turns (so your wheel doesn't go flying), get a big hammer and hit the inside of the tire with a good solid shot. That wheel will break loose pretty quick. Good luck!

I keep getting a "powerdrive or winterdrive" light

winter drive if I remember.... starts out in 2nd gear to aid in snow driving...it wont spin the tires as much, accel will be slightly slower. power drive makes the trans shift later. I worked on Isuzu for a while and they had push buttons for this option.

I need to know what the power drive and winter drive buttons are for on a 1998 isuzu rodeo

The winter drive button gears the transmission down so that it doesn’t spin when you take off from a dead stop in the snow and ice. It only activates by pressing and holding it when at a stop and then accelerating.

Power is for when you are hauling heavy loads. It holds a higher rpm before shifting to next gear giving you best hauling performance.

I would like to know the answer to cindy-lou70's question too. I don't have an owner's manuel for my 98 Rodeo. How do I use the "winter drive button"?

Starts SUV from a "dead stop" in low gear to prevent wheel spin on slick roads like ice for say when you take off, disengages at 30 mph once engaged automatically.
