One of the first symptoms of a potential problem with the front axle engagement switch is difficulty engaging the vehicle’s four-wheel drive system. Usually a bad or failing clutch engagement switch will produce a few symptoms that can alert the driver of a potential issue.
While most four-wheel drive components are built for a long service life, they can be prone to issues over time. Depending on the specific setup of the vehicle, the axle engagement switch may either be a dash mounted electrical switch or a mechanical lever. When the switch is activated, the front differential is engaged, giving power to the front wheels. As its name implies, it is the switch that controls the engagement of the front axles.
The clutch engagement switch is a component that is commonly found on four-wheel drive vehicles.
