My Trackers 4wd doesn’t work when it gets cold out . When you bring in shop for 1/2 hr it works again . Vac pump functions perfectly , shift to 4 high pump functions for no more than 3 seconds and 4wd light comes on all good . Can do that all day inside and works mint , go outside and within 1/2 hr light goes out and nothing . Has anyone had a moisture issue ? I just brought it back into shop and I’m going to pop off line from vacuum pump and diff and blow them out with air and air line antifreeze . Thks DB

Are we talking liquid water-to-ice cold?

Plug the diff side of that hose. If the problem still exists you may have water in your "vacuum" pump which is actually a positive pressure producing air pump.

 

I popped the 2 lines off vacuum pump and off diff and I found moisture in intake line that comes from beside the rad and a little in pump . I gently blew them out until no sign of moisture and then added some airline antifreeze and blew out again . It’s been outside for about 3 or 4 hours and still working . Is this a common problem and should there be anything on the end of that candy cane looking intake line beside rad ? I just recently purchased this unit and have tracks on it , so don’t want anymore issues with it . Thks DB

 

I have never heard of this problem before.


My 2001 Tracker has the same candy cane intake pipe as yours.


Some versions of the Grand Vitara have a HOSE ASSY, FREE AXLE (39) that attaches to the candy cane.
