21 Talon i4wd not working

[Sxsguy1991]

I have an issue that is causing me to pull my hair out.

2wd/i4wd switch does nothing
Dash stays with locked 2wd
Diagram will not change or register.

It was working when I unloaded it and washed it 2 weeks ago, then the cat bumped the key and the battery drained, I installed the Guage relocation kit and then charged the battery back up.I have no warning lights. I have checked and re checked all connections and fuses. Could this of been caused by the dead battery and now it’s locked out?

Have you driven it faster than 19 mph since the battery went dead? If not, do so for a little bit and see if that helps.

Hahahah we have 4 dogs, it’s the shop cat!

Will try that this evening, it’s getting rode either way.

Maybe these will help.

Thank you! Still tracing wires.

I know low voltage will make it not work, I did the same once, left the key on over night, the next morning it would only blink back and forth between 2 and 4 on the instrument cluster, and the i4wd drive light was on, I just drove it for a bit and at some point it turned itself off

So far I don’t have the i4wd warning light nor will the dash indicate 4wdjust stays on 2wd lock.

we have swapped the switch with one from a working talon with no changed, have ohmed out connections and everything appears fine. I don’t have any power at the front diff (green connector) on either wire with switch turned to 4wd. Slowly chipping away over here 😂

Make sure you are doing all your testing with the engine running. 4WD does nothing with KOEO.

Got it fixed the blue wire in the main harness was pulled apart somehow I’m not sure, I think when I cut the tape to separate the winch power wires somehow I maybe cut the blue wire only threw the loom.
