Default 4wd system and display

Should the display in my photos change when using the ****?

Or will the power distribution indicators not change unless there is slipping?

As you can see, it does not matter where I turn my **** it is all the same.

What does it do when you drive?

My wife's AWD explorer has a similar display...it always displays the outlined display like you are showing, but when you drive, the bars fill in to indicate power being transferred to front/rear axles.

Do you have the AWD (4A) transfer case or did you just add this screen via forscan? Mine fills with blue power indicators when I drive in 4A.

Have you tried driving down the road? It takes some speed to get the blue bars to show up. Parking lot speeds would not be enough.

I guess I will leave this here for reference. Works just fine. Apparently I was more worried about other vehicles in the parking lot instead of paying attention to my gauge LOL.

4A and 4 x 4 look very similar as you drive. The former shows a larger bar, for more power, to the rear wheels where as the latter shows them being equal.
