4x4 Engagement Light

Although my 4wd works, the light does not come on when its engaged. I've just started to diagnose the IWE system. The light bulb is not out and illuminates on start.

Can anyone tell me where the circuit for the 4x4 light is? Is it through the IWE system or the transfer case?

Thanks

Try tapping on the 4x4 shift motor on the transfer case, i think that is what triggers the light on the dash (from what ive read) and the motor could be stuck a little, meaning it shifts enough to engage the 4x4, but doesnt shift the T-case all the way to trip the light. Just a thought.

I agree that would be first thing I'd try, if there was a break in the circuit it probably wouldn't light during start up.
