Problem with 4WD instrument panel light
2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - about 66000 miles
When transfer case lever is in 2WD High - 4WD light is ON on the instrument panel When transfer case lever is in 4WD High - 4WD light is OFF on the instrument panel. Exactly opposite of the way it should be. This happened about 6 months ago, but corrected itself after a couple of days When transfer case lever is in 4WD LO - 4WD light is ON on the instrument panel - correct 4WD system works correctly, transfer case lever is adjusted correctly, and yes I am sure I am in 2WD high, 4WD high or 4WD lo regardless of what the instrument panel light shows Would this be a bad switch? If so, where is it and how do I replace it? Thanks in advance for any help Mabar |

I'd clean the connector on the tranfer case sender. Try here http://www.jeepfan.com/tech/JKLockerHacks.php -- DougW |
