How do i select 4 wheel drive on my 1996 2.8d mitsubishi challenger

Two wheel drive high range, Please check the drivers manual. All will be explained there.

Of course it can, Kelle... and I think it IS in 4-wheel drive. You'll need to have someone local to you fix that.

Some high-speed race cars have four-wheel drive.

no year?
never drive, part time 4wd on pavement, unless said pavement
is ice or snow covered.
only AWD allows pavement (tires direct upon) driviing.
part time 4wd is for offroad , off pavement driving,
this is because 4wd has no center differential.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wheel_drive

and with out such, winds up the drive line fast. and breaks it.

wiki states (no year stated by you)
Part-time four-wheel drive was standard on all models. to 1991
then came
ActivTrak 4WD
cept
4H (high-range full time four-wheel drive), 4HLc (high-range four-wheel drive with locked center differential) and 4LLc (low-range four-wheel drive with locked center differential
so do not use LOCKED on pavement. on active track. only 4H
the wiki states the Super-select is retained 2006 to present.
Super-Select 4WD II

read the glove box manual under 4wd

Check your battery connection. My toyota did the same thing and it was created by a loose battery connection.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/paul_0efc97cca45309c1

well first you have to find out why it is low but it also needs to be vaccumed down before charging best left to shop with proper equipment

the smell of trans fluid indicates that it's overheating, either needs changing, if your lucky, or a more involve drepair , get the OBD codes read

Hi Adstew,
the front diff has a sensor telling the control unit it when it is engaged (or not). It probably is, and it won't disengage. or the sensor is stuck. The selector lever tells the control unit you want 2WD but the sensor thinks the front axle is engaged. So it flashes.
When shifting to 2WD, normally the front axle will come free after a load change or a bit of turning the steering from side to side, but it sometimes happens that it gets stuck. You can find out:
lift the car free off ground, then select drive forward in 2WD. If the front wheels do not turn, then the sensor may be faulty or stuck. if the front wheels turn in 2WD mode, the diff is stuck and the sensor tells you so. Same or similar problem can happen with the center diff, by the way, on pajero/montero, etc.
regards
Winfried, the perfessa

by any chance have you unlocked the rear differential on the hub??

Have you check the driv aksel on left and right side, if you have a bad drive shaft , you shall hear a noise specily if you turn the steering to full right ore left. And so can you check the drive shaft betwen the aksel and the reduction gearbox.Have you check the oil in the front diff , if the are metall partikel in the oil? if the are mettal partickle in the oil , you must check the diff

Try selecting 2 wheel drive and reverse for 20meter .
