I bought a used 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and don't have a owner's manual. I need to know if my 4-wheel drive is working. There's not a light that comes on and, though that would be helpful, I need further proof that the low gear ratio actually kicks int - plan to drive on a beach...
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.

The only Solution to this is 1 of 2 Things ! The Shifter Linkage is Off of the Transfer Case 2 The Transfer Case is Shelled out and needs to be Rebuilt. Check underneath on the Transfer case for any Noises when in 4X4 and Check the Linkages. Please Rate my Response, I need all the Help That I can Get! Thanks!

The service 4 wheel drive light comes on because there's a problem. The biggest causes of this I've seen are a software glitch in the final drive control module which the dealer can fix by reprogramming and the other is usually the electric actuator on the front axle housing. The only light that comes on by a timer is the one that says, "perform service" in your overhead console or odometer.

Sounds like the splines on your transfer case gear are ground down
