Hey guys, I'm new to the forums. Very excited for finding this place as it seems there is a wealth of information here. Little background info, I bought this Navajo in summer of 2015. Shortly after I had a few issues which led me to pretty much rebuild the front end, U-joints, wheel bearings, rotors, brakes, tie rods, and some other things i'm forgetting.
Prior to a few weeks ago the 4x4 high worked great (never tried 4x4 low). One morning when I started my truck the 4x4 and 4x4 low light on the buttons and the dash all came on solid, not dimly lit. The vehicle was in fact only in 2wd. This morning was the first one in MN when it dipped below 20 for the year. pushing the buttons does nothing, all 4 lights stay on. after about 5 min the lights went away and I went on my merry way. Next day same thing, all 4 lights are on when it started in the morning. Now the lights stay on all the time. I ended up just pulling the fuse for the 4x4 so the lights would not be present the vehicle is in 2wd and runs fine otherwise. Any help as to where to start first in diagnosing this issue, I have read the 4x4 sticky and read a lot of the other peoples issues on the forum but i'm not finding anyone with this same problem.
Would it be easier / cheaper to just convert it to manual lock outs?
