New and will surely need help! - Ford Forums

Hi guys,

I'm picking up my 1989 bronco from it's previous owner in a couple of weeks and was informed that it has a problem with the 4x4 in that it doesn't stay engaged.

Is this a long, expensive fix or could the little manual levers near the wheels just need tightening or something? I really don't know anything about cars but I bought the bronco mainly to learn.

Anyways, you've got a really helpful forum going on as i saw from the other posts.

Any help will be appreciated, THX

well i'm new to this site and have an 89 fullsize wich now has a blown motor. but it is a clean truck and had the same problem with the 4wheel drive. previous owner said it just needed a fuse, but i did'nt get to try before the engine went. but hey we'll all learn together. bronco's are great trucks and tons of fun. good luck with yours

I went to pick it up this weekend but the brake line ruptured as I was trying it!!! It was leaking brake fluid all over the place and we obviously couldn't drive it anywhere so I'm still waiting on the current owner to change and reroute the brake line so that I can get started on the 4x4 problem...I'm naming the truck "the damned".

Did you find out if changing a fuse would fix your 4x4 problem?
