    Thanks man, mine just went out. Already replaced the other usual suspects, the blower motor control module, oil pressure switch, instument cluster and I KNEW the 4wd was next and I was right.

      It's possible, but it could be something else, also. Is the truck running when you are trying to put it into 4wd? Also, are you trying to get into 4 hi, or 4 low?

    Where would I get the wire itself to replace? I’m going to replace the switch out for a new one but just in case I was wanting the wires as well

      You mean the connector that plugs into the 4x4 switch? I’m not sure if they sell just the connector. You’d have to search online for it or go cut one out of a truck in the junkyard.

    do you know if you can replace the backlight bulbs inside the controller?

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately I’ve never taken the controller apart, so I’m not sure. It I’m willing to bet the lights are soldered to the circuit board or part of the buttons. I guess you could take the controller apart and at least take a peek.

    So does that trucks transfer case have a motor or no?

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, and time there’s an electrical button instead of a manual shifter on the floor for 4x4, there should be a motor/actuator on the transfer case or the front axle housing depending on the vehicle.

    Before replacing it, was it by chance making your dashboard click?

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hmm. I don't think so, but it did have a few moans and groans. I may have just gotten used to it. There could be little relays or something in the switch causing a clicking but I couldn't tell you for sure.

    Can the switch be part of "service 4x4"?

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s possible but I’m not sure what’s all tied into that light. Could be the switch, the actuator itself down at the transfer case, or wiring. Switch would probably be my first try though lol

    I tested my old switch with my multi meter, and it seemed to be bad, so I went ahead and changed it with a new one. Tested the new one with a multi meter before I installed it, and it appeared to work. However, I replaced it with the new one and the switch still won't work. It lights up initially and then nothing. Any ideas as to what to do next?

    • @TonyTheTruckGuy
      @TonyTheTruckGuy  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Is the “new” switch actually new? If it lights up initially, it should then display an amber light for which mode it’s in, or at least the red neutral light. Kind of weird it lights up and then nothing.

      @@BerntGoodson-n6i Yeah I mean it could be a wiring issue or maybe even another module but unfortunately I’d have to have a wiring diagram in front of me to see how the circuit is laid out. Might be worth hitting the old Google and seeing if there’s any old forum posts for common fixes besides the switch itself. Wouldn’t hurt to check both fuse boxes for any blown fuses also.

      Good question I’ve never had to do that haha. I’d imagine the little cubby just mounts the same way as this switch since it’s in the same location. Just take your time and be careful prying it out.
