0 18 inch Crappie Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The switch tells the light to turn on and off, give a dealer a call and talk to the service manager and ask him what part to replace. Worked for me in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SteveWilson Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I have a GMC Suburban and the lights on my 4-wheel selector kept changing (not the gears itself). I ended up having to replace the switch; fairly easy to do and the part wasn't that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jeremy airjer W Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The switches are really common on the Chevy/GMC trucks! I haven't ran into any of the Dodges with this problem yet. I'll ask around tonight and post if I hear anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Powerstroke Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Could be the switch and it could also be the sensor in the transfer case that confirms it is engaged. Also could be a short at the bulb.Either way, I would believe that your 4wd works just fine, but your light/sensor/switch will need replacing.

0 Valv Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 There is a switch on transfer case, it's the only one on it, check if it's plugged correctly, and if it is trace wires to see if there's a cut or short somewhere.It's better to eliminate all the easy fixes before replacing switch.I wiush I knew it 1 month ago, I just threw away my truck's transfer case, and switch was still there.
