Hi all,
I'm sure this has come up lots of times before. I recently got a 2005 jimny which has the front locking hubs, but the 4x4 will not kick in and when 4L is pressed it beeps. I have tried looking at what was done and followed the steps with blocking the valves which wasn't done. I'm also not getting any warning lights or flashing green light. When i press the button i can hear a clicking sound as though it is trying to complete the process.
Would anyone have a idea what else to check?

Also is there anyway I can manually lock it in 4x4 eliminating the button?

Simplest thing first, you are stopped and pressing the clutch when selecting 4lo?
