The problem is the slide inside that modual, when it is engaged in 4wd it slides the fork over and that in turn slides a coupler/sleeve over both from drive shafts to lock them in gear. at the same time when the shaft slides over it hits the end of the housing and makes a complete circuit and in turn lights up the 4wd light.

The 4-Lo engaged the low-range transfer case for rough and challenging off-road driving. Fast forward a few decades and, enter the Actuator. The actuator is a component found mostly on modern four wheel drives and is designed to electronically engage 4 wheel drive.

What causes ABS, traction control and 4WD lights to come on?

Hello – mostly likely, a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor or other ABS sensor is causing these symptoms. ABS, traction control and auto-engaging 4WD are integrated systems, and share sensors. A malfunction in one system can bleed over to the other systems.

How does a 4 wheel drive light work?

It accomplishes this by means of a small electric motor bolted onto the transfer case that shifts a pin in place to lock the center transfer differential. The actuator allows you to shift from 2WD to 4WD on the fly and back to 2WD without stopping and can be engaged and disengaged by means of a switch inside the cabin, usually on the dashboard.

Is the 4WD light working in the snow?

The 4wd light was working just fine. Once I pulled onto my road I needed 4wd again so I pull the lever, hear the quiet clunk, but no light. Playing around with it a little more while putting the plow on in preparation for the increasing snowfall it IS going into 4wd, but no light. Any ideas? Keep in mind it is snowing and I have no garage.
