'95 XL
I read through the posts here, but my problems seems to be a bit different! I have a 95 XL. I don't think I have the 'auto 4wd'. I have a switch (not push button) on the dash that says 2wd/4wd auto/4wd low. It is a V6/Automatic.

Every other day or so, my 4WD/4WD LOW light flash 6 times ( a couple times in a row).

Tonight I 'played' with the switch. With the truck running, in park, I moved the switch to all positions. (tonight the 4wd/4wd low was NOT flashing). I moved it to 4WD AUTO and the '4wd' light came on in the dash. I moved it to 4WD LOW and the 4wd low light did NOT come on, however the 4wd standard light remained on. When moved back to 2WD, the 4wd standard light went off. I tried this repeatedly and could NOT get the 4WD LOW light to come on.

I know the 'light' is good due to periodic flashing (above).

My 2 symptoms seem to be:

1. It will NOT go into 4WD LOW (seems to go into/and out of 4WD Standard just fine).
2. 4WD/4WD LOW flashes periodically.

When the light says that I am 'in' 4WD Standard, i'm not sure if I really am or not.....was parked and on pavement.

Autozone does not (or at least they say they don't) have a ODB I Scanner, so I have no codes. I read in post about a HALL sensor, but I don't think my 95 has that (due to the manual 2WD/4WD AUTO/4WD LOW SWITCH).

Any ideas on what I might check? Thanks for any input! Cheers!
