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

I don’t know how easy the transfer box actuator is to change, probably hard. The wiki suggests giving it a tap with a mallet, but I have no idea.

I would check all of the fuses in both fuse boxes, just in case one has blown, it will be quick 8n comparison to fixing problems with the 4WD controller or transfer box.

Checked every fuse in the car and all look ok.

Will take a look at the actuator and the wiring from the controller to the actuator at the weekend.

Will also try giving the actuator a knock!

test the switch, then test the wires to and from the switch to the TB, have you ever changed the TB oil?

You mean the switch on the TB that sends a signal to the controller to say the TB is in 4WD? I think the problem is before that because it's not even changing the gears in the TB to 4WD. Think it's the actuator or the wire to the actuator which should swap the gears to 4WD

TB oil was changed about a year or so ago when I got the reduction gears put in

Has 4WD worked since you put the reduction gears in?

Yes, certainly was working since the reduction gears. I used it quite a number of times.

I tried tapping the actuator and didn't help.

Also cleaned all the connections with contact cleaner.
