Default BF 650 4wd not working

I went for a SHORT ride today and went to go over the railroad tracks and noticed the 4wd is not working. Any ideas what it could be? Oh, also it just came back from the dealer where I got my recall work done and got a new radiator and thermostat put in for the over heating problem. It seems like it's one thing after another.

What is the bike doing? What does the instrument panel say? Does anything happen when you flip the 4wd switch?

Mine went out, couldnt figure out why. Ended up being a 250 dollar front actuator which I still havent replaced. Apparently its not sealed very well, if at all, against mud.

Thats exactly what mine did, nothing when you flipped the switch. I'd check electrical connections but you may have to take out the actuator and test it.

Mine is doing the same thing. We took the actuator off and it appears to be working OK. I next took the actuator off of my 360 and instaled it on the 650, again it doesn't work. We next put it back on the 360 it also doesn' work now?????? Help please

believe in or not, the electronic brake control fuse is what caused mine not to work. That is located under your seat in the white box with the red 10 amp fuses in it.
