SOURCE: 4wd problem jeep wrangler yj 1995
i just bought a used 97 CHEROKEE but i had the same problem, when i got to looking at it i found out the front driveshaft was shot, look at that, if its not it i would say its probably the transfer case especially with an older vehicle like that which is a very expenxive repair

you can also check the 4 wheel drive vacuum switch on top of the transfer case...got mine for 10 bucks from parts store...fixed the problem
SOURCE: 4 wheel drive doesnt work.
Has this Jeep been modified at all?
It sounds like the shifter cable was reinstalled backwards.
Specifically the 4-Low "Not Climbing Well". 4-Low should give you the best torque and hill climbing ability.
Do you feel any "Binding" in the steering wheel (difficult to turn)?
Remember a Jeep uses real driveshafts and differentials to give you 4WD - you cannot engage 4WD or 4-Low on dry hard surfaces. It needs a little bit of slip between the wheels for turns.
Check you're fluids too.

According to the mechanic who works on my 94 Jeep it's one of three
things:
1) Corrosion on the connector to the switch (which is located
on top of the transfer case).
2) A bad switch. Part cost about $22.00
or,
3) A bad console display. he says they have had a fair number of
console display units fail.
SOURCE: how do I shift into four wheel drive?
I've seen some that can be shifted while in park, but generally even when that is possible, it is always better to shift while rolling at a slow speed (under 20mph). When all components are turning, it's easier for them to properly engage without grinding.. If after you are finished using 4x4, the front axle does not disengage, you can usually get it to do so by disengaging the shifter, then backing up for about ten to twenty feet.
