4WD light flashing on the dash - v6 Jack

Hey mate

How are you going, given that job the flick yet.

Thanks for the tip, pulled all the wiring off, quick spray with the air gun and some spray. Took the diff breathes off cleaned them and also some of the hoses off the vaccum actuator, one sucked in a heap of air, figured that was my prob!!!!! all good now

Cheers

hey champie, yeah long rid of that albatros from my neck :-)))

Man never have i seen a place with so little respect for staff, but even worse - complete contempt for customers. and a total lack of any product knowledge.

Im back on the tools and loving it (building 8 million dollar engines!!)

Hope the prob is solved, as for the files - leave it with me.........

I see you are doing the trade show / expo thing (you lucky bugger LOL)

cheers mate

Have a friend with the same problem in a 99 3.5l.
4wd light flashes and 4wd won't engage/disengage properly.
The flashing light indicates that the system is trying or ready to engage 4wd.
But then it may be a faulty sensor :-).

Tracked it down to the 2 vacumm control switches on the inner drivers side guard in the engine bay.

Seems that the front diff has a vacuum control to engage 4wd and also another one to disengage.
Not using 4wd enough is part of the problem.
Check the hoses and clean out the switches.
He changes in and out on a regular basis each day on the way to work.
Took a few months, but everything working better now.

Quote for switches from Mitsu was about $300.00. Can't get them from the wreckers either.

whenn i was at dealership, we spent a full day buggerising around with a pajero with this prob, the front diff actuator was a bit bent, but the main prob ended up being the vacuum solenoids, only 1 was buggered and caused all sorts of funny buisness, we fixed it with a spare valve we had in the shop that had the same actuation. It wasnt a mitsu part, i think it was off a rodeo or commodore. so you will be able to find replacement valves that aren't from mitsu. Bosch would surely have something suitable.
