4WD light on Dash

[VitaminC914]

I noticed that my 4WD light on the dash doesn't turn on. 4WD system works fine. It is not the bulb. Can anyone tell me where the switch for this would be? I am guessing it is a bad switch.

Thanks,
Ray

It's on the side of the transfer case.

Does it require a special tool to remove or is it easily accessible?

how do u know its not the bulb , did u bench test it
or
simply go by a visual inspection ?


- the is a 4WD indicator switch on the side of the Front drive shaft extension Housing Cone , if your bulb IS ok after a verified bench test , I would look at the white 2 wire connector connection that connects the switch sub harness to the main harness , They can come loose from Vibration
or
a PO previous repair Forgot to reconnect it together

" almost " certain its a 24mm Hex wrench

u need to unplug it , if its plugged in , other wise u WILL twist the wires and break them off as u loosen them
