What wheel spins, double posted with this one add small fact.
front or rear.???? spins, gee, must i ask this?
you have open axles, right>? and this is normal
it is !
unless you use Lim.S.D. Axles (an option new)
or drag your brakes, creating a virtual Lim_S_D.
Limited slip differentials. (closed axles)
my 2008 wrangler does that, via software and uses ABS to lock a spinning wheel. (drag it)
but i cant drive on ice free pavement, are you, if yes, stop
PT 4wd is not for that. at all
you need full time,or AWD to do that magic.

got open axles? goggle that.

Four wheel drive will not work on 1999 quadra trac II

First you need to check the transfer case fluid. It may be low or the wrong type. You need to go to the dealership to get the right type. It would be hard to go into more details without more info from you. Does both ranges not work? (4 wheel high and low)
Or is it just the 4 wheel high range that doesn't work?

2004 jeep liberty stuck in 4 wheel drive low - can't get it to go to either 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive high

a reluctant transfer case can sometimes be coaxed by shifting into reverse, backing up 10 feet, and then back to forward.

1990 jeep yj 4 wheel drive issues

what are you trying to say is that the front wheels wont engage?? if this is your problem? check the actuater on the passenger side axle there are 3 lines that go to it and that is what pulls it in and pushes it out of gear by air.

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.

4 wheel drive light is on in my jeep

vacumn pod on the front axel is stuck on. Jack up the front wheels spin both tires at the same time and see if the front drive shaft turns. If it does the 4x4 on the axel is engaged. The front drive shaft on these should not turn when vacumn pod is disengaged. YJ's have a split axel on the right side inner axel shaft.

Tire thumping in all 4 wheel drive

Coming from the rear? I could see the noise coming from the front if your axels are bad. It seems weird cause the vehicle would make noises like that in normal driving because they dont change when you switch to 4 wd
