Putting X on dyno?

Sorry for the post if it's been covered but I am in a hurry.
I pulled the AWD fuse and the front's still have power. I want to put it on the dyno today since we have a mobile dyno at the shop for a car show.
Is there a way to disable the AWD completely so I can have power at the rear's only?

I thought pulling the fuse would do the trick unless it's an 07+

I pulled the fuse and put it on the lift. The AWD light came on but the front wheels still have power.

No pulling the fuse on the X does not disable the awd completely. The awd system will always send a certain amount of power to the front wheels. Pulling the fuse only stops it from sending more power to the front when needed. Same happened with me when I did my dyno but I was on an AWD dyno and noticed that no matter what the front wheels will always spin. I'm sure you could disconnect it but not worth it.

U cant shut the car off when u puttin it on the dyno...
When I pull the fuse, Car starts up AWD, u can either drive on it oR hold the break and spin tires for 2seconds not even and realizes and Cuts front.

Then u'd have to put the car on the dyno and strap down by that time, car will be warm as ****.
My thought...
Or
AWD dyno is ur friend =]

i just got dyno'ed yesterday, and tried it. pulling the fuse doesnt disable it, the guy said it put it to about a 75-25ish split. the dyno doesnt appreciate it though, it doesnt want variations between the front and rear wheels. what did you guys get for the X tho?

You need an AWD dyno like Dyno Dynamics or Dynapak.
