Hi guys,
Ever since I repaired the floor of my 96, and "winterized" the bottom with oil, my part time (231) light doesn't come on when 4wd is engaged. Bulb is good, socket good, 4wd works fine. Again, light worked fine previous to floor repair and oil hose down.
I've been searching through info over the last 2 or 3 days, and I'm completely out of ideas.
I'm linking a couple images of the 2 connections that I've cleaned underneath. The first is what I believe to be the electric switch on the transfer case. The shot is from under the front, looking to the back. The second is a white connector with 3 terminals (only 2 are used though), that had an orange wire and a black wire coming from it. This is right along side the transmission pan. IIRC, at one point I saw something about these 2 colored wires (orange and black) being connected to the switch.
All I can think of is that maybe something in the wiring under the console (on the inside) got messed up when I had it all tore apart, and the console removed. BUT...I don't *think* there's anything under the console that could have been messed up?
I know this is no big deal to a lot of people, but something like this will drive me crazy until I figure it out. Thanks for any help!
