Mitsubushi Challenger - 4wd indication lamp flashing

i cant help for sure, but i know a mate had that problem with his 94 pajero, too. i think in that case the light was supposed to flash when the hubs were locked, but even after they werent locked it still flashed.

but i dont think the challenger has manual locks, does it?

anyway, dont quote me on it, but that is the closest i have come to seeing that problem

DP.
the important thing is to establish if it is in fwd, to do this just jack up one front wheel and spin it. If thats ok unplug the switch on the transfercase and then the switch on the side of the front diff to find out which switch is out of adjustment. Good luck Eric.

DP, my Challengers had this problem for over a year now. You can easily tell if your car is still in 4x4 simply by the handling & I suspect it is not. I took mine to Mitsubishi and they told me that it is a faulty (solenoid I think) & that it would cost a little over $200- to fix. I asked him what the consequences of not fixing it were and he said that maybe one day it would either not go into 4x4 or perhaps not come out of 4x4 but that the major problem is that the light will keep flashing. So I was faced with the tough call, do I pay $236- to have it fixed now or put a tiny bit of electrical tape over the light & maybe fork out the $200- odd further down the track if it fouls up. Easy call really except I never got 'round to putting the tape on. Now the only time I notice it is if someone asks me how come the light flashes. If you bought your from a dealer and its under warranty, I'd get them to fix it just to be safe.

It's amazing isn't it, we take our beloved 4bys to these places and often we know more about them than they do!
I always check my coolant levels, hose clamps, oil levels (trany and engine) when I pick my car up, heard too many stories of people getting half way home and "clunk" bye bye engine.
Besides the last thing you want when your loaded up with all ya gear, kids screaming in the back 500kms from home is your frigin 4wd to not disenage, man that would suck! Can't even tow it, it's a tray back job.
