The drivetrain has three modes: 2WD, 4WD and 4WD+front differential lock.
Something fails with the electro-mechanical control so that the 4WD and
diff lock will engage, but not disengage. You can unscrew the cover from
the front axle and rotate the mechanism by hand (counter-clockwise I think)
to disengage 4WD. The steering is very hard with the differential locked,
but not bad in 4WD.Headlights could be a problem with the 12V converter, or the switched 48V
that the ignition switch controls to the 12V converter. Do the taillights
work? There is a big arc when the 48V ignition switch closes (inrush for
the 12V converter), which damages the ignition switch over time. I think a
few people have sourced new ignition switches. Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond.

I am thinking of buying a 2008 ruff n tuff Hunter 4x4. It looks very nice and seems to run well. The headlights don’t work though and the 4x4 stays locked in. What is the maximum it should cost? tires look new, batteries have no corrosion etc. Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond. To unsubscribe from these emails, click here.
