I believe there is a fuse that disables the awd. Your manual should
cover that.

Don't know what he did, but it's dead easy to tell on my 2.5L -- just put a fuse in the FWD fuse socket and observe how normal starts from intersections now make the front wheels squeal. -- Bruce \| 41.1670S \| \ spoken \| -+- Hoult \| 174.8263E \| /\ here. \| ----------O---------- >> Stay informed about: AWD Problems For Legacy

firstly, i was drivin up an icy driveway wen BEHOLD! it woodnt make it up the icy driveway!! so henceforth i backed it down and tryed again... only to be met with bitter defeat for a second time! so relentlessly, i backed it down again, questioning the utter grippyness of my tires. this time, just outta curiousity, i opened my door and stuck my head out the window to see if all four weels were turnin, and BEHOLD wat i BEHELD! the back ones wernt. then wen i got home i jacked all four weels up at the same time and only the front ones were spinnin. the end. >> Stay informed about: AWD Problems For Legacy
