My service 4wd light keeps cutting on but you can cut the truck off or pull the fuse and it goes away till I drive then it cuts back on its saying 4wd lock circuit low I ran a new wire for the lock circuit and even when the light cuts on I still have the 12v on it I'm believing the encoder motor is bad being that it's a intermittent problem but if some one can give me anything else to look at I would greatly appreciate it

Been having a similar problem, if I turn sharp and or fast it would make the light turn on and once I turned off the key it would be fine until I did it again. Today I checked the abs sensor connections by the front wheels, jiggled them while the truck was on, it kicked the light, so I fixed the connection and now it doesn’t come on

It will trip the light, that’s how the auto 4wd knows when to kick in
