P1000 Yet another drive mode issue...

[WVMatthews1982]

We recently had our 2020 1000-5 deluxe out. Notice right off it wouldn't go into turf mode, even after numerous adjustments in the cable box located @ drivers rear passenger. Nothing new, however its not even registering on the Hud that its in 2wd lock... nor even when I shift into 4wd or 4wd lock. Any ideas? Is this more than a cable adjustment issue or considering the dash issues would this be a sensor or component issue? Thanks

Check the rear cable and switch lever for free movement of the cable and look for dirt packed around the engagement lever, keeping it from moving. Get all four wheels off the ground, put it in 2WD and see if the rear differential is locking and unlocking properly (regardless of what the dash board says).

Did you get the rear end jacked up so you can turn the back wheels to see and test what's actually goin on within the little box with the cable adjustments that harness the tachyon particles with trans-dimensional quantum materialization actuality?

Dont go by the book completly if you do your going to have trouble.Most of the time the cable needs just a turn or two.The box and dash read off each other.

I have jacked rear wheels off the ground... will not unlock rear diff. I have adjusted to the point beyond the factory marks where they completely are forward and aft of the marks. Just to get a response. Afraid I've screwed something up somehow. I did notice when it shifts into 4wd that its extremely labored which it wasn't before.

So when you lift it off the ground and then move it out of PARK, the real wheels never unlock? Look at the shift lever on top of the rear differential and see if it is moving. It is under a metal shield. Make sure this lever is moving when you move the lever. You could go as far as removing the cover and disconnecting the cable to check that the rear diff locks and unlocks properly. You will need a helper for this test. One to hold the lever and one to turn the axles. Picture is of the lever with the protective cover removed. Service manual Page 19-12.

Correct... it never the rear differential never disengages.
