I have only a few important comments and you will need more to fix your vehicle. Here in the States there were 2 styles of differential in Ford products. One being limited slip or locking style. The other thing to watch is gear ratio. Both differentials must be the same ratio and style for this to work.

If there is a mismatch you will probably only travel a few feet before the transfer case is destroyed when you engage the 4x4.

You will need to get instructions about disassembling the front differential. This can be slightly different depending on if it is a locking style or not. There are Youtube videos for much of this but what I am referring to is USA made vehicles. If you have the same resources where your vehicle is produced then look at your models. If not, see what sister vehicles are made in the States and then look at their videos for repair procedure.

I wish I could help more but am in the dark with a Foreign vehicle.

SOURCE: 2004 Ford F-150 extended cab FX4. 4WD problem

Your front hubs are automatic locking hubs, and the gears are hard nylon. These hubs break very easily, therefore causing you to lose your front wheel drive in 4 high, or 4 low. If you replace the hubs with "WARN (name brand) " manual locking hubs, you will never have the issue again. Of course, you will have to get out of the truck and manually lock the hubs, but they are metal gears, and much more durable. I've personally seen the issue several times, and changing the hubs has resolved the issue every time.

Encoder motor located on the transfer case is usually the problem. It is the motor that shifts the transfer case.

SOURCE: 2005 ford escape 2x4 with 2.3. Drivers side rear

on alot of breaks are caused from not working evenly the bearing must go in the hub evenly not one side more than the other if you are putting it in evenly then someone may have given you the wrong bearing make sure before you try it again that you do have the right bearing and avoid beaking another one

SOURCE: 2005 f150 front hubs noisey goes away when put in

This is either the IWE ( Integrated Wheel Ends ) solenoid or the vacuum lines / check valve / reservoir for the vacuum system

This is a block diagram of the IWE vacuum system
sscullys_37.jpg

There is a TSB on the IWE solenoid for the 04 to early build 06 MY F-150s ( right click save as )
http://my.voyager.net/~sscully/file_tsb06_08_15.pdf

This is for the early build where water can get into the IWE vacuum system, causing weak vacuum at the IWE, and the spring is part engaging.

With the engine running, pull the IWE vacuum line ( not the vent line ) and measure vacuum, to make sure it is being applied. This is done with the Mode selector switch in 2WD and the engine must be running ( in park, take safety precautions, chock wheels, parking brake, etc )

Until you can get it fixed, pull the vacuum lines on the IWE ( make sure it is the vacuum line, not the vent line that runs into the engine compartment, and just hangs up there ).
This is so the IWE gear is not being ground down while driving it. The front axle is engaged when you do this, so MPG will suffer, but the truck is just pushing a dead front axle, the transfer case is not turning the front shaft. This is just to try to minimize further damage to the IWE gear ( which can cause a need to replace the IWEs ).

Can a 2005 awd territory be driven on rear tail shaft only

With an AWD vehicle there is a diff in the transfer case that allows different speeds between front and read axles . If you have 4wd button (lever ) that allows the diffs to be locked for slippery /off road conditions then it can be driven with out the front drive shaft if you have it in 4wd. If you do not have that option then without the front drive shaft it will go nowhere.

How do you remove rear axle from 1995 ford ranger 2 wheel drive need to replace oil seal

Raise the vehicle and properly support it. Remove the wheel and drum. Remove the rear diff cover, have a drain pan underneath to catch the gear oil. Place the trans in nuetral, chalk the front wheels to keep vehicle from moving if you forget to put it back into park befor you lower the vehicle. Rotat the differential until you see the bolt that holds the diff pin in place. Remove the bolt, 5/16 or 8 mm I believe. You can then remove the diff pin, do not rotate the diff with the diff pin removed! Push the axle in, you can then remove the C-clip that holds the axle to the side gear, it will usuall drop or just fall out. Pull the axle out of the rear diff and replace the seal. Put everything back together. Use black or grey RTV to reseal the diff cover making sure o clean up both surfaces as best you can. Put trans in park. Lower the vehicle. Remove the fill plug from the side of the differential and fill with gear lube until lube comes out the hole. Reinstall the plug and your good to go. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

4-wheel drive isnt working , i put the tranny in nautral and pull the lever back in to 4 wheel high and nothing , its the same with 4 wheel low , but i can drive the truck around , sure hope u can help

Sounds to me like the 4 wheel drive actuator on the front diff isn't working. Its a relatively inexpensive part, and easy to change. It is located on top of the front diff, a few inches to the right of the pumpkin. Will be really easy to find once you have the new part in hand. Just un-bolt the old, disconnect the connector, then bolt on the new one, and plug it in.

Replace rear Axel !999 Ford F150 2 Wheel Drive

Fairly simple job...Unbolt everything connected to it, take it out, put new one in and replace everything you unbolted. Support the frame, so you can get the unit out and nothing but the diff comes down after all hardware is out. Most bolts are really tight and rusted , so be prepared to have them fight you and when getting one from junkyard, ask if you can have the hardware with the unit so you have spares on hand.
When buying the replacement, make sure it has the correct size driveshaft yoke on it.
This is a good opportunity to custom tailor the diff to your needs...count the ring gear teeth on yours and then divide by the number of teeth on the pinion this gives you the ratio. If you do a lot of low speed driving and pulling loads, you may want to change to a 3.90 ratio or even a 4.11. If you do a lot of long high speed driving, go to a 2 series rear ratio. If you are happy with what you had, match that. (changes require speedometer gear change or it will be a bit off)
Always change the diff lube when you change a diff. Never buy one without removing the cover and looking at gears and checking for fine metal in the lube.
Good luck!

Seat warmers not working 2005 ford f350

well first of all does the button for the heated seats light up? if so then it is not a fuse problem. usually the heater pad itself. disconnect the connector and check with a ohm meter. if the meter reads open the element is shot. as for the 4 wheel drive will have a wheel hop when turning corners this is normal due to front and rear wheel trying to push in different derections. if it happens all the time the gears in the diff might be different from front to back. check to see if a diff overhaul was done if so.
