My Cherokee is all wheel drive. I noticed that the 4 wheel drive is not working unless it is i4 4 wheel low. What could the problem be? The front wheels do not pull unless in 4 wheel low
Re: My Cherokee is all wheel drive. I noticed that
Your Jeep is All Wheel Drive and only 4x4 low. The front wheels will spin if needed and/or lacking traction and all the wheels will spin if you do have it in 4x4. It is just a badge thing saying that it is 4x4 but really they are All Wheel Drive

You need to be more specific. To start, which 4 wheel drive system your jeep has? (Select Trac, Quadra Trac II or Quadra Drive)
Then: does it never work, or only in 4-Lo?
Locate a dirt parking lot or field and engage the 4wd. Make a slow tight turn and you should feel some resistance while turning as the wheels dig in and fight one another causing the steering wheel to shake somewhat too. Do not attempt this on pavement or damage may occur. If you can turn freey and not notice any difference then when your in 2wd its likely not working.
If there is an option to run 2wd, that would be the most fuel conservative option. You shouldnt need 4 wheel drive unless you are driving in snow and or mud, or need extra torque while towing a load. 4 wheel high would be the most common under the given circumstances. 4 wheel low is a lower ranged gear that gives you more power to climb hills or remove your vehicle from "sticky" terrain.
I hope so, it shouldn't be in 4 wheel drive unless you need it, 2 wheel high is where it should be when driving habit are on city streets or highway driving.
Sounds like it is in 4 wheel drive mode. If you have a switch to disconnect the 4 wheel drive it may not be working. If the vehicle is full time 4 wheel drive or computer controlled 4 wheel drive you have most likely a locked in full 4 wheel drive mode situation. Not good on dry pavement.
Just pull up on the 4 wheel drive lever .. You can shift on the fly to part time and full time but you gotta stop and in park or neutral you can shift into 4 wheel lo .. I have one myself .. love those jeeps .. you "understand"
lever
What year is your cherokee? Is it a Grand Cherokee or Cherokee?
Is it a lever type 4 wheel drive or is it an electric push button type?
