Hello everyone,
I'm new to the 4x4 game, and just bought an '87 Bronco (full size) Eddie Bauer edition. It has push-button 4x4, and the story goes that mechanically the 4x4 stuff is fine (the previous owner replaced the automatic hubs with manual-locking hubs), but that electrically things just won't engage.
Does anyone have experience with this? I just bought the truck on Friday (it drove 150km home on the highway just fine), so I haven't even checked obvious things like fuses yet.
I picked up a new button assembly from the local scrapper, but I'm guessing it won't be that easy. Any suggestions on what to look for?
And if everything is a mess.....can I just get a manual 4x4 shifter and linkage from another Bronco (the yard I was at had 2) and bolt it in to replace all of the electrical shifting-stuff in the transfer case?
By the way, sorry if my "lingo" isn't correct, but as I said I'm just getting into the world of 4x4's (apparently my '71 Satellite isn't enough of a money pit, so I had to buy something else....)
Thanks in advance for all your help. Feel free to email me at snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com
