4x4 Low switch not lighting up...
I was out on the beach yesterday surf fishing and my 4x4 low switch wouldn't turn on. Truck wouldn't shift into low range either. 4x4 high worked just fine though.... I don't own manual (yet) and want to know if a4wd, high, and low all run thru different relays???? Or what ever might be the problem...
Thanks

In order to shift into 4LO you must do it properly......
1st place shift in N or park
2nd apply brakes
3rd turn **** to 4LO
4th wait for loud clunk, this confirms positive shift.
To get out of 4LO do same procedure only switch to 4HI or A4WD or 2HI

Here is a question for you. I have a 97 with 4.6. When I am in 4wd or a4wd, sometimes the relay bugs out, and the indicator light flashes from one to the other and back, sometimes a few times. Could it be a bad relay, the 4wheel has not gone completely off, nor have I had issues of not being able to shift into 4wheel. Also it seems worse when damp or raining out side.

Yep, heard of the same problems, the wire connection needs to be water tight.... lube it, grease it, something.....
