Have your battery load tested for a bad cell,if its a new battery check that you are getting around 14-14.5 volts with a volt meter when above idle. If still not charging check that all 4 connectors at regulator/rectifier at front left of machine have good connection. Most of the time charging problems are reg/rectifier related,bad/poorly ground connections at battery,etc. Can be the stator,but check these out first. Awd system is electric and mechanical,must have 12 volts to work. If battery is bad/not charging,awd wont work! OPT

Thanks, same thing for me, it took a car puller, quite a few bent bolts and washers, and a lot or effort. But it eventually came off.

Thanks
