I went to use our 98 Kia Sportage today and no-good. Stuck in 2WD. Couldn't even get out our driveway. Good thing, because I'd certainly never get back in. Over 200K and first time there's even been a problem. 4WD light comes on, front wheels no move. It worked fine when I last parked it and I left it in 4WD. But I see now, it engages by engine vacuum and disengages whenever vacuum is gone.
So, now I'm ticked off at Korea.
I have the full factory tech manual but it does not show me anything about the vacuum operated locking hubs. No picture, no nothing. Just states "if vacuum is present and hub no work - American fool must buy new hubs. " Note, I'm paraphrasing a little. There is a vacuum solenoid that sends vacuum to the hubs when turned on.
I did a quick search on-line and foundd nothing but people converting to Warn manual hubs. I find nothing on anybody actually taking apart and maybe fixing.
My question is - had anybody on these forums ever seen the inside of one of these hubs? If not, guess I'm going to find out the old-fashioned way.
