When I shift the T/C into H4L (locking the center diff) the dash indicator lights up with green wheels and an orange light for the center diff, is this normal? Also when I shifted from H4 to H4L the T/C had to grind the gears a little before they messed. This was while I was sitting still. I'm concerned there may be an issue with the center diff or the front diff. Anyone have any insights on this?
Note: I use Center Diff and T/C interchangeably.

If nothing lights up on the dash and it doesn't start blinking within 5-10 seconds when you put it in High 4wd then you have a problem with the High 4wd button or circuit.
I've never had my transfer case grind between any of the high ranges. I've also found that mine shifts best while moving and I give the throttle a blip.
