My trannys in but the 4x4 lights stuck on


Recommended Posts

Hey guys that 81 single range tranny seems pretty tight compared to the dual range in my 82 that had a bad 3rd gear, i got one little bug left over tho, the 4x4 light is stuck on all the time. when you engage the 4x4 the low light illuminates, makes sense since im missing a step now but what to do to correct it?

thanks

There is no switch inside the car but where the shifter rod goes into the transmission there is a sender/switch with 2 wires coming out, something tells me thats not adjustable.

 

There IS (or was) a switch also on the 4WD lever. Believe me - it's there. The one inside the tranny is supposed to be for "lo", but since you have a single range it is tuning the "lo" light on even with it in high because on single range vehicles that switch DOES operate the "4WD" lamp. But on D/R vehicles it only operates "lo", and the 4WD switch is on the back of the lever. It's underneath the plastic consoles inside the cab.

 

i have a dual range.....

 

You have an EA82, which is COMPLETELY different. You are just going to confuse the poor fellow.

Right again GD, i see where its supposed to go, i think i know what that weird push botton/switch in the glovebox is for now, why did they remove it? i wonder? theres one other other misc unnkown item in the glovebox, looks like a carb linkage or door latch linkage, hopefully its just an extra what ever it is.
