NO 4x4 or 4LO Light on Dash?

[gtommec]

So I just bought this 04 Liberty about a month ago and before I bought it I checked that the four wheel drive worked and everything was great. The 'PART TIME' light came on when the truck was in 4-HI and the '4 LO' light came on when in 4-Low. a couple of times while driving in 2-Hi the "Part time' light would come on if you hit a bump (but the truck was still in 2 wheel drive) It only happened a couple of times and I just pushed the x-fer case lever down and the light went out.

Now today I needed to use the four wheel drive and neither the 'Part time' or '4LO' lights work on the dash, even though the 4 wheel drive did engage. I am wondering where I should start looking to see what the issue is.

I had the same issue in my '03. Its just a sensor switch thing on the Tcase that gets old n dirty. I dont remember but the part may be cheap, but I know its kind of a PITA to get too because you have to take the whole center console out. your 4x4 still works, the dash lights wont. I do remember reading somewhere that if the light stays on when in 2wd then the ****** computer goes into a different mode but mine would usually be on part time for about 4 months and I didnt notice a difference

Mine doesn't work and I don't worry about it.
If you don't know if you have it in 4 high or 4 low you have more problems than a light :shrug::happy175:

Thanks for the help guys... I have no problems telling if I am in 4wd or 2wd I just want the lights to work like they are supposed to!

that light has been busted on my wife's 03 for over 2.5 years now and no issues with the transmission, transfercase, or diffs.

KBoone, you didn't notice a difference because the engine / transmission recalibration only occurs in Low Range. Not High.

Something like this would seriously bother me too. If my 4WD light stopped working I'd go insane.... I hate it when little crap like this breaks.
