i tried a new switch ...nothing happens....
the fuse under the dash is fine, and i didnt see
any 4x4 fuse under the hood.
ive read up on the forum about the 4x4, but is been
raining for 2 weeks and i havent got to check
things out yet...
any idea whats goin on? ..thx ...zimmy

checked the relay in the back...tested good.
when i push the 4x4 button im hearing a clicking
back there.
is the red light supposed to be on all the time?
does the truck need to b moving to actually kick in?
if not, does it need to b started, or just key on?
my 4x4 button doesnt light up ..ever.
i also have a white backgroud aftermarket dash..
could this be part of the issue? i dont know if
it has a 4x4 light or not..i would think so tho...
 






Hi...
I'm not sure what red light you are talking about. The light next to the 4x4 button should light when you push the button to engage, and go out again when you push it to disengage.

You can be standing still or driving up to... I think the manual says 50mph? Something like that when you engage or disengage. The button and light control the transfer case. The Lo range will only engage when you are stopped in neutral.

The troubleshooting thread is really quite good, I hope you give it a try.
 






im takin bout the red light in the back on the relay...
