Scrambler 500 4×4 troubleshooting

Just picked up a ’02 Scrambler 500 4×4 and noticed while in the snow the front wheels don’t spin at all, even while the backs are. Besides selecting the AWD button is there any other tricks?

I added the fluid to the hub’s. I also noticed there is an intermittent whine coming from the front wheel area when I slow down, possibly while turning after slowing down.

Suggestions?
