Thanks for the tip, It was the fact that I was stuck and not able to move forward to engage the auto locking hubs. I got stuck again and the same problem happened but once I got out I was able to go into 4x4 after I rolled forward a couple of feet. Thanks!!!

I have tried both in neutral and in park with no luck. Is it a straight forward clean re-grease on the hubs?

Here is my first post! Here is the question, I have had this 1994 Pathfinder SE ( automatic, 220,000km's ) for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I tried out the 4x4 when I first got it and everything worked fine... 4lo 4hi. I was out on a job site in a very muddy area and I put it in 4hi and noticed that it was still just spinning the back wheels and nothing up front. The light was on on the dash showing it was in 4x4 and when I shifted the 4x4 shifter it felt like it engaged. I tried everything and I couldnt get it to go into 4x4, at least get the front tires to move. I had only put on maybe 500km's since I last used the 4x4 and I had no service done to the vehicle in that time. I shifted as per the owners manual instructions and I could not get it to work.... Any ideas?????

Just thought I would introduce myself, I picked up my first 1994 Pathfinder about 2 months ago. I bought it because of how cheap it was ( the owners were leaving the country ) I got it for $1000. It was brought in from Vancouver and is almost rust free, there is one rust spot on the passenger rear wheel arch. The underside is like brand new, at the time I didnt realize how rusty these vehicles can get.
