I am leaning towards it being my 4wd ECU as the issue. Any other advice would be appreciated.
also, help me locate the 4wd ECU!!! Resources are sketchy on that.
thanks,

Its possible its the ECU though it more on the rare side. I would suspect the actuator its self. As if it will not engage into 4wd. I would think the light would not engage along with the front VSV. Remove the actuator power connector and test for voltage while you have someone push the button on and off see if you are seeing 12 volts going to the motor actuator. If we have power at the actuator the brushes in the motor are most likely warn out and may need a replacement actuator. Testing is the only way to know for sure.
