Can anybody give me any tips as to where the 4wd light sensor is on the NP231? My light isn't working and perhaps I'd like to take the sensor out and give it a quick cleaning........thanks!

What year?
If you have the vacuum disconnect (mid-1989 and earlier,) then the indicator lamp switch is up near the blower fan motor, under the hood. It gets vacuum when the axle shift actuator is fully engaged.
If you don't, then I believe the mode indicator switch is on the transfer case proper, and is an mechanical switch that may just want replacing...

FYI for the pre 89 jeeps, the vacuum sensor is a little blue box located by the shock tower. It has a vacuum hose and wire harness going to it. I checked with the local jeep dealer, and he said they weren't making them anymore.

Yep, found it today...plug was intact, unplugged/plugged it back in a few times and no fix.
I'll just replace it when I can get one.......don't feel like buying a new switch really. Not really an issue though, as if you can't tell your in 4wd......
