P500 Won't shift into 4wd

[leboyd]

I tried to a Google search, but couldn't find anything on the P500.

I purchased a 2015 a few weeks ago and recently tried to shift into 4wd. I was stopped, but it would not go into 4wd. I got no indicator on the dash. I had read somewhere where there's a linkage adjustment somewhere, but I can't find it.

Any help to a video or post is appreciated.

Drop the front skid plate. On the back of the front differential is a plastic cover with 2 bolts, I believe they're 10mm as well. Behind that cover is the linkage for the 4wd, cable, rod and nut. Turn that bottom nut to adjust tension on the cable.

Hello, I'm no expert but I think because you say you are at a stop. When you shift to 4wd you wont get the indication until you begin moving.

This would be great - User error. I will check this and hopefully it's working as it's supposed to.

PJ1 may be on to something.
The indicator on my P1000 doesn’t instantly display my gear selection. I have to travel a few feet before the indicator shows the correct status.

Thanks guys. I finally got back to the ranch this weekend and am happy to report it was user error. Once I followed the directions you guys provided, it went into 4x4 as it should.

There is a small placard near your left foot when in the driver's seat that has info about the 2WD/4WD system. I can't remember everything it says but essentially "don't go between 2WD and 4WD while moving and remember you might have to roll forward for it to register."
