Issues with 4x4

[tommybuck]

Hey guys, I just bought a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 bighorn and I love the truck The only issue is the four-wheel drive when I first bought the truck it went into four-wheel drive fine but after having it about 2 weeks it started not wanting to go into four-wheel drive and it was completely random sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn't when it wouldn't go into four-wheel drive the light on the dash would not come on when I did get it to go into four-wheel drive the lights would come on the dash I changed the switch that changed it from two wheel drive to four-wheel drive I also changed the four-wheel drive actuator these things didn't do any good and I noticed the other day just playing around trying to get it to go into four-wheel drive that when I turn my switch off put it in four-wheel drive and then turn my switch back on it went in four-wheel drive so any help with this I would greatly appreciate, oh and I forgot to mention my toe haul button and my traction control are also sporadically going out

Make sure fuse is tight. Check transfer case connector and make sure it’s clean and pins aren’t broken. That’s where I’d start.

Getting these trucks into 4x4 is hit or miss its the one thing I hate about 4th gens for exaple mine refuses to go into 4 Lo but works in 4 HI lol . My 2011 I had to every once in a while pull the fuse to reset things and it would work again for months. I have replaced shift motors switches ect always end up with the same result I do not know of anyone who has 100% fixed this system.
