4wd not engaging Sign In

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot. When I lift the 4wd lever to engage it shows up on my dash that it is on. But i know it isnt in 4wd. I can tell by the feel and during last winter I would spin out. Once my car would start spinning out the 4wd light would begin to blink, indicating an issue. My mechanic said he thinks its the actuator. But said he would need to really diagnose it. Anyone ever experience this?

I moved your question to the trans category. Gary, our trans expert should be along to comment when he gets a chance.

Hello,
This is something that needs to be diagnosed, can be a few things, i would start by scanning the vehicle to see what codes are present. Gary
