96 4X4 dash light inconsistent
It appears from the snow that the autolock hubs and transfer case are working but the light on the dash is very inconsistent. Sometimes on, sometimes not. Any ideas on what I need to look at to fix this?

Look at the plug on the transfer case there's a sensor on it that indicates what gear its in maybe a bad connection of some sort
