4wd crapped out on me

[east302]

Used to have that problem with my older Hoe, took the switch out re soldered every connection on the switch that was factory soldered and never had that problem again

I did that on mine as well. Same symptoms...pressing the plastic surrounding the switch would make the lights work. Several solder connections were cracked.

I need to resolder the connections in my auto 4wd switch. Light occasionally goes out and pressing on plastic surrounding the switches makes them come back on. Will give it a try this weekend.

turns out its just the connecting for the lights. the buttons function fine. It looks like I almost broke the plastic clip that holds it in last time i was dicking around behind the dash. Or it could be something else like a crack wire that i cant see but either way it's not effecting the 4wd

I used some 2 part epoxy on the clip for the lights to firm up the "snap" when i push the two tabs together and since then the lights have stayed on solid.

I re-flowed many of the solder points on my 4wd switch last weekend. All the lights seem to be working well.
