how to change the light bulb with symbol 4x4FT. it works (some this forum-people say- i trust them-no choice -still fresh in Jeeps) but there is no green light on dash. (when part time is on-arange light is on as well).
would like to have all spot on so please let mi know how to change it.
-
doesnt anybody know?
-
It will help if you tell us what Jeep it is,
-
assuming its a XJ like in your avatar and you just want to change a bulb then its a dash pod out and bulb fits from rear, but the OP is not that clear so not sure what it is you want to do
-
thanx, yes its xj 4.0 HO '96 4x4 works but i have not green light informing me about it. want to change it-i mean i would like my xj inform me by on the light with green symbol of axles that mode 4x4 Full time works. when is part time its on orange light with words part time, but when i switch to 4x4FT -front rear pull me as well but nothing inform me about it on dash -on the right of steering wheel. i want to fix it.

I think with all your questions you are asking. i recommend you buy a workshop manual.

thank you for your suggestion. i will buy one. I've just thought forum is for asking question and getting answer. some people feel better when can help somebody else. if i am wrong please tell me what the forum is for? or send to somewhere where I can buy answer for it.

Not a problem with questions mate, think Rich was just suggesting you might find a manual useful for detailed help when taking bits & pieces apart :icon_winkle:

take off wood trim under the console, take off trim surrounding clocks. this should show the cluster of lights to the right hand side of the clocks your interested in. the cluster is only held in by self tapping screws. remove cluster and change bulb from the back.
refit is the opposit of removal but that should be fairly simple
-
thanx guys. i know about manuals- its usefull, but i prefer to ask even 10 times then dont ask and fek up. i have bad experience with some easy works done myself on merc w124. uuppss. thank you. will try tomorrow. if you know what kind of light bulb i will need and can i get it from halfords?
-
Can be a dirty switch or contacts on the transfer case rather than a blown bulb
-
:imwitstupid: reseat & clean the TC loom plug before ripping the dash out, 2 min job
-
:imwitstupid:
Had to do the same when I first had my XJ :icon_winkle:
-
thanx, I'm afraid i dont know what are you talking about. i will buy hayes manual or something to know where to find parts, bits and shorts you are talking about. thank you anyway.
-
Underneath the car you have a tranfer case, the bit where the front & rear prop shafts go into.
There will be electrical connectors & wiring attached to the transfer case which can get covered in muck & or be damaged. These connectors tell the dashboard lights what to show (different coloured lights), if they are not clean or damaged this will mean the lights wont work properly, even though the car will switch between full & part time 4WD or 2WD.
Have a look underneath & see if there is anything obvious :icon_winkle:
