Tried to take wife and baby out for a little snow driving today, pulled of the mostly snow free forest road onto the track we were going to take, drop it down into 4wd and... nothing but blinking lights... Okay, back up, let's try AWD, same.
Now, I can't get the 4wd lights to stop blinking.
I can definitely tell the car isnt sure if it is in 4wd or not, but the front drive shaft is spinning, so I think it has settled in awd, which I suppose is okay for now.
I started reading in
this thread on YotaTech and started by pulling the front differential lock indicator switch and testing it with the continuity setting on my multi-meter. Front diff switch tests perfectly. I got a beep each time.
I moved the TC and tested both of the indicator switches on the TC. The front most one tested perfectly as well. The rear... not so much. It would beep every once in a while and sometimes it would only kind of beep. Not sure how else to describe it other than it didn't seem to be functioning properly.
I put everything back together and am going to order a new sensor and see if that solves the problem. To my understanding the part number I need is - 84222-12010. I'm really hoping it does the trick. If not, I'm assuming the problem has to be vacuum related and I'll need some more help/guidance diagnosing.
