1997 Tacoma 4x4 Problems

you have to push the shifter up into 4lo or down into 4hi while holding down the button.

 

It got fixed! I took it to a shop and they said the actuator just locked up and needed to be cleaned out! and it only cost me 50$. hope this helps some one else out with the same problem

 

oh my god. i am really having the same issue right now. so they took it off and cleaned it? that is all? i am dying. my little Maybull is a lifted 4x2 and i am real depresed. same issue. i have it lifted right now and will check that tomorrow. ctm907 you may just be my hero. i have started an entire thread about this. i hope this is my issue too.

 

Dose anyone know if the external coil on the distributor would cause my truck to start and then when it warms up, it quits running. I changed out the crankshaft sensor and still dies after it get warm. I want thank you for any information on this. MARTA

There is a fuse under driver side dash I would start there it is a very common fuse to blow
