It all started with my 4x4 light not lighting up when in 4x.

so i was not sure if my jeep was or was not in 4x. After checking the forums I "assumed" that i had a vacuum controlled split shaft front axle. So i dug some more and found some vac diagrams. Armed with this new knowledge i crawled under my jeep only to find that i don't have a vacuum actuator... now what??

so what kind of front disconnect does a TJ have if any??

any ideas why the 4x4 light does not work?

 

^ bulb burned out?

 

there is no axle disconnect on a TJ everything turns all the time.the switch for the 4wd light is on the transfer case

 

A TJ has a manual disconnect-it's your transfer case shifter located at your right knee by the console.
hence "part time 4WD"

 

could be the light,maybe the switch on the t case,bad ground wire.
Does it shift into 4WD? and 4 LO?

 

4x all work including low. so i figured i would try the easiest ... check the dash light. found it to be burnt. all good now! went to dealer to get a dash bulb and got him to run the vin # as i was courious to find what gearing i had. found out that i have 5.35 with a dana 44 in the rear and stock limited slip!! guess that is one thing off the list to do!!

 

Good show!!
You're lucky to have the D44.one less mod for you to do!
