B2500 4x4 engagement problem'
Hi, I've recently bought a 2000 B2500 Dbl cab with 110,000 miles. very happy witth it but now I've got it in snow I've found I cant engage 4 wheel drive. If I put it in 4 low it definately is in low but the front wheels dont engage. So in 4 wheel high or low I'm still in 2wd. The RFW light doesn't come on but the 4wd light does. The fuse is ok. Any help and where to get a workshop manual would be appreciated. Thanks.
Rob.

My local Mazda dealer told me to strip the free wheeling hubs. It turned out that it was a vacuum switch. Mine is Right hand drive and on the brake servo there are a couple of black plastic boxes with rubber pipework attached. One of these had snapped off. I fixed it with a couple of small pieces of aluminium tube and reconnected it. It works fine now.
Take a good look at the vacuum hoses and make sure there are no leaks as it is this that locks in the 4WD.
Hope this helps.
