How to tell if my 2005 fx35 is AWD?

[carguy75]

Check your VIN number with an Infiniti dealership. The VIN will list all of the options installed on your FX.

Maybe you can look for the "4WD SOL" fuse located in the box under the steering wheel? I wouldn't imagine rwds having this... but may be wrong

I was just about to write this.
Isn't the "remove the 4WD SOL fuse" mod popular with AWD FX's?

If AWD shows up in the dash when you turn the key to ON, you have an AWD FX.

You can check the fuse box next the the driver's left foot. If there is one called "AWD SOL", then you're awd.

You could also call a dealership and give them your vin#.

Get into a sippy hole, if you have traction issues most likely not an AWD ride.

I starting to think that OP was testing our knowledge here! We all pass!

 

[g0ldm4g3]

What do we get for passing this test?

 

[easy_goer]

After all these . How do we know that it is "NO WHEEL DRIVE".. Haaha

I'm with mbarb, easy foolproof way is to peek your head under the front and look for the drive axle. If there is none then it's RWD, if there is one like in the pic(ribbed rubber boot with shaft coming out toward the engine) then it's AWD

My FX is AWD and when I hit the AWD button it reads AWD on the instrument cluster, also you can just go under the FX and see if you have a transfer case.

Yes!!! Foolproof.

Exactly, if you see those in front then it is an AWD, these are there to transfer power to the front wheels.
Besides, if you see the AWD light briefly when you start the car then definitely it is.

The suspense is painful.

ya AWD showed up for a few secs when i turn the engine on, what will show up in the RWD version?

You have the "AWD" light, you have the W in the middle of your VIN... Dude you do have an AWD, no need to check any further, :smile (2):

Everyone passed the test:smile (2):. You now
