94 PU 4x4 5spd 22RE, 4x4 indicator light does not work, swapped in a new instrument cluster with tach, still doesn't work, any ideas, is there an electrical sender on the transfer case?

 

There's a connector that is on the passenger side of t-case. Check to see if plugged in. Is an sender there too. Mine doesn't work but it is the cluster, to make matters worse I got dual sticks and forget to put it into 4wd.

 

Hey man check the clutch safety switch to see if it is malfunctioning i Know its weird but happened to me after a 5speed swap the computer thinks you are in neutral and therefor thinks you do not need 4x4

 

I have a 94 4runner and there is a sending unit on the front of the ifs to the right of the diff that had its wires ripped apart when i bought it that was causing the 4x4 idiot light to not come on.

 

Thanks for the replies guys, been busy with the holidays and forgot I posted this, have to go check out the truck.

 

my 4x4 light also doesnt work either. im pretty sure the connector is missing on the diff

 

pretty sure yours in at the Transfercase, not the differential

 

yeah ive got one at the transfercase but ive heard theres also one by the add actuator. i pulled the dash today and the 4wd light isnt burnt. and i looked today for a connector at the diff which i didnt see. the 4wd works and something clicks when i stick it in 4by

 

Listen to this...

My 4wd light did work when I bought my 4runner, so I looked underneath it at the transfer case and sure enough there was something unplugged, neatly zip-tied away though.

It looked like someone unconnected the plug unpurpose, I cut the zip-tie and re-connected the plug to my transfercase.

Then my 4x4 light started working, but my truck wouldn't go into 4x4.

So I unplugged the plug again and then it could go into 4x4 but the light on the dash didn't come on...

Why do you think that happened?

 

highlex is the light blinking or just going strait on?
