4x4 dashboard indicator not lighting
As the title says, no 4x4 light on the dash. Took it apart and there are no bulbs, only circuits. Is there a sensor that goes out? Just wondering why the light would not work. It’s a light that is not used that often.

It should come on when you first turn on the ignition as part of the startup diagnostics. Failing that, there is a series of steps you can do (I don't remember them just at the moment, but if we had more info about your exact model of car we could find them) that makes ALL of the instrument lights come on in test mode.

Not on a d22 Tony :)
They're a bit primitive, as far as I'm aware, the 4wd light is only controlled by the 4wd switch on the side of the transfer case, when moving the 4wd lever. I'm not sure if they are leds on the cluster, but going by the description above it sounds like they are. It could be broken wiring between the switch and where the wiring goes into the cabin or a failed switch.

You'll probably find that one of those "circuits" is a LED. look for a ittle stub of plastic that will sit behind the indicator light..
Just for you info.
As stated, the ight is driven from the gear selection some where. AIRI, you have to actually drive in 4x4 for it to come on and it only turns off after a few metres driving out of 4x4.
