4wd light stays on
« on: Nov 10, 2010, 07:02:19 PM »
I have a 83 Toyota and the t case shifts perfectly fine but the 4wd drive light is always on any ideas on how to make it turn off?

would that be a manual or an automatic?

unplug the switch? see if it changes it? 
Sand, what fun, drop pressure to 12psi, stock tires are still digging, can't afford to get stuck, 8psi, still not working. Find a place to GET OUT, air up, un-lock hubs,  WAIT whats this, hubs are UN-LOCKED already. 2wd, 8psi, stock tires, Oregon sand dunes.
