4wd light fixed

[Uncle Buck]

I took my guage cluster out of my 89 GW last night and found a burnt light bulb in the 4wd slot on the back of the cluster. I pulled the one next to it, emission somthing, and put it into 4wd slot and yeeehaaw I know when I am in 4wd now. On my truck I have to shut it off flip the switch and restart engine to engage the 4wd. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times, so it was difficult to know.

I am so excited. I have never had the light before and now I do. Its the little things I guess. My 11 year old son helped me. He helps me fix about everything I do to the jeep because he thinks I'm gonna give it to him when he turns 16. I think he was more excited than I was.

Just in time for the big snow storm too.:thumbsup:

Cool!

I'm pretty sure that the emission maintenance light is on a 75K mile timer, don't worry about it.

Excellent! You guys and gals north and east of me better batten down the hatches.

We have had around 4 or 5 inches since last night. National weather service says 10-15 inches total with 40 mph winds tonight and tomorrow. Might have to take the jeep and do some drift bustin.:drivin:

With your 89, try flipping the switch while driving and CAREFULLY shift into NEUTRAL (don't go into REVERSE!!! :eek: ) for a moment and then back into Drive.

Another alternative (if you don't want to wait) is to throw the switch and then goose the accelerator and then coat a little afterwards. Between unloading the drivetrain and increasing the manifold vacuum, the t-case usually switches for me.

In my 90 I just flip the switch, pull foward a couple feet and wa la the light comes on.

I put a 229 out of an '85 into my '88 and there was no plug to plug the wireing harness into....
Now I have no light again...

On my GW, I flip the switch and nothing happens. Of course, the battery is disconnected, it's up on jackstands, wheels are off, ignition switch is being replaced, etc............. Maybe that's the reason....:rolleyes:

Ya'll be safe and enjoy the snow........................... but most of all, be safe.
