I don't have a repair manual for my 1985 Eagle stationwagon. I've looked under the car and all of the four wheel drive seems to be complete and attached. I turn the dash switch and the electrical solonid doesn't seem to kick in. Is there a fuse which controls the transfer case. And if so where is the fuse box located?

Get this manual online at www.reliable-store.com and get complete guide on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc

If wheels spin slow down and or touch brakes to allow abs to kick in

scrap it

hi
yes seems like you switch is faulty.]
replace the switch
Thanks

you have a lever or switch that engages 2wheel normal driving 4 wheel high for wet slippery conditions ,then you have four wheel low for real muddy and deep snow conditions
normally change from 2 wheel to four wheel high on the move .important nearly all 4 wheel drive vehicles must be stopped to engage low otherwise do damage to transmission

Under the Battery there is a vacum motor with a cable on it. This cable is stuck or bent as default is the car is in two wheel drive. at the other end of the cable is connected to the front axel. Notmally there is a spring that pulls the cable towards two wheel driove and the cable pulls towards 4 wheel drive, if the spring were to break or get gone once engaged in four wheel it'll stay that way. Normally there is a plastic cover on the axel where the cable enters the cover and this spring in under this cover. It's possible and likly that if used in deep mud and water that this cover will fill completly with mud and dirt and it will need to be cleaned out to work smoothly. if left dirty for a long time the sping and the sliding parts can lock up and it will not engade or disengage. After driving in dep mud and water it's best to clean this area oput and with no disassembly you can wash this place with a high pressure car wash wand and clear all the mud out but if it rusted you'll have to take it apart and clean it and relube it. If you want to run the truck in deep mud regully you need to do this yourself as paying someone else to do it could be expensive. If your not handy with tools and the way things work it'll be best to have a professional do it with you watching. This truck if run in and out of four wheel to run in the mud regularly will do this over and over again and knowing how to do it right, and which tools work best and how hard to hit the stuck parts with a hammer are all best learned from a pro and don't try to teach your self. If your just going to run around all the time in 2 wheel drive just pay to have it done and if you don't put it in four wheel it won't go there unless you turn it on.

It means don't buy before a diagnostic. Service Engine Sonn.

The canceller mechanism is part of the turn signal switch assembly inside the steering column. The only one I've ever replaced was in a 1965 Mustang, and I had to pull the steering wheel. Of course that was before air bags, which can be activated if you don't follow the correct procedures.

I would not try to repair this one yourself. Get a few estimates, you may want to just learn to cancel it manually. I'd guess this will cost somewhere around $100 to $200, but I don't know.

well what was told is that my1984 eagle stationwagon, that if the 4x4 does not engage it is due to vacuum lines from the motor and the trany. these lines dry out and crack and vibration causes them to crack and the tight spots there in does not let you see or fix them to easy.

Thank you for this tip. There are a lot of 4x4 that use vacuum to engage the front drive.
