Does anyone know where the sensor or wire is that goes to the 4x4 switch that changes in into 4high and 4low... for some reason after taking it out of 4low the light wont go off... and now the spedo only goes to 20mph ... already checked the needle its not stuck

All this after i played in mud... got underneath and rinsed all the mud off i could see..
Think she dont like mud ..

Id really appreciate the help... i dont wanna mess anything up or make if worse.. thanks guys.

Did you try putting it back in 4L and backing up, sometimes they stick.
There should be a stack of wires going into the top of the case ...I think
I don't think it's your problem. But Good Luck and let us know what the problem was.

 

[TexasAngel34]

Yes i did a mkllion times... it feels like its back in a4wd but light is on.. will take a look at the wires just in case...

Could be a faulty selector switch telling the computer one thing and doing another

 

[TexasAngel34]

Yea thats what the parts store thinks or the accuator ... the 4wd shift control on the transfer case... we are checking everything ... will let you know what i found out.... they say its a pretty common problem as well...

 

[F1vel66a]

It is common also check the vacuum lines coming off the selenoid. Another thing is mine won't switch out or in 4lo unless in neutral but the indicater on the dash changes.

 

[TexasAngel34]

Well no power to the switch on the dash or the accuator..not good... taking it to the parts store to order what i need... no more mud for me lol

 

[TexasAngel34]

Finally figured it out... the lines were loose and mud was inside of them.. cleaned everything and putting electric wire lube on all wires...

Determined mud is not friendly ...

 

[Canadian Expy]

That was a cheap fix , good for you

 

[TexasAngel34]

somewhat... the stupid thing goes in and out now.. and now my stupid thing that reads how much gas to empty goes out and comes on... so yea some serious electrical issues going on and i am LOST...

 

[Canadian Expy]

That sucks, sounds like maybe a short???
Time to start testing wires, maybe Thermo will kick in his 2 cents, although most times it's more then that.

 

[TexasAngel34]

Lord knows... trying everything... last i was told was to clean the computer connections ... i still think it has something to do with something behind the dash itself... but confused as to why now the overhead gas to empty is acting up so yea... im so so confused...

 

[TexasAngel34]

Since you seem to be having misc seemingly unrelated electrical failures I would be looking at common grounds and possibly the gem module. Any chance water entered the cabin when you were in the mud?
