Yak, thedon had already had the AWD switch on and turned it off and couldn't understand why the fronts stayed engaged. My statements of "continue to spin" meant after the AWD switch had been turned on and the fronts had engaged as they had in thedon's situation. Yak, I never said that it would engage without the AWD switch being on. I simply started my answer at the point where thedon left off with his question. (AWD had been engaged, all tires in the air, AWD switch was turned off, Indicator light turned off, front wheels still engaged). Having owned and ridden Polaris' for over six years, I know full well how the AWD system operates. Hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
