Howdy-

Over the past year, I've been having some issues w/ the 4WD on my '07 4Runner. When switching from RWD to 4-HI, there is quite a delay before it actually engages. This has happened under ALL conditions (off road rock, dirt, mud, snow) anywhere from a complete stop (in neutral-drive to reverse) to 50 mph on an icey hiway. This delay can be as long as a minute plus before it finally kicks in & has been extremely frustrating (& sometimes dangerous) at times.

Could this be a problem w/ the solenoid? I had the dealership check on it a couple of months ago, and of course they gave me the run around. Disengaging the 4WD doesn't seem to be as much of an issue.

Feedback is appreciated!

I dont know on the 07, maybe someone else can chime in.

 

The Actuator in the transfer cases do go more often then one would expect from a Toyota. Just had my 2004 in to have that replaced. I guess it is somewhat common. The trnafer case would not go into 4LO. Maybe the dealer can replace under warranty? If they give you trouble call the regional rep.
