4WD won't engage. No lights. Just hear relay click

Hi, all,

I just finished changing my kingpin bearings.

I took the car out for a spin and all seemed good, however when I tried to engage 4WD, I just heard a relay click and nothing happened. No lights flash on the dash at all.

I am not sure whether this has anything to do with changing the kingpins. I probably haven't engaged 4WD for 6 months or more.

I don't think the vacuum cables can be the wrong way around, as I labelled them, and they don't even seem to reach the other way around.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks,
Lee

Have a look in the wiki for 4WD problems, about 3/4 of the way down

www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/4WD..._failure_diagnostics

No 4WD light suggests failure of the transfer box switch, a problem in the wiring, a blown fuse or a 4WD controller failure.

The transfer case switch or wir8ng is the favourite failure.

whats the year? did the vac hubs work before ok?

Thanks, Robin. I found that article after posting my message. I couldn't find anything relevant initially.

I guess I'll need to get that checked out.

I did check the 4WD fuse and that's ok.

Year is 2005 (VVT). I don't know whether the hubs worked just before the kingpin change. In hindsight I should have checked, but I probably haven't tried to use 4WD for 6 months or more

I'll check the transfer box tomorrow. I did remove my transfer box guard recently to change the rear cat, so maybe I damaged something
