Another Super Select flashing lights problem
Hey all,
I went to the beach on wednesday last week, and since then i have not been able to get the front 4x4 lights to stop flashing when in 2h. I have done about 400k's since and it doesn't matter what i do, it wont stop flashing, so obviosly something is broken. I dont really think it was anything to do with the beach as such, as about 3 days before, i was having trouble getting the front lights to illuninate when going into 4h from 2h, and when travelling around in 4h, like i do about 80% of the time, they would with out touching the tranfer lever, start flashing for a little while, then go back to continously glowing for a bit, then i would notice them flashing again. But while it was doing this, when ever i selected 2h, it would all work normally again. But now since the beach its the reverse, when ever i select 2h the lights flash.
I have tried what is sugested at http://4wd.blogeasy.com/article.view...ticleID=318776 by looking for the actuator moving, which it does, i also swaped over the blue and yellow vaccuum lines, and that did nothing. I have tested that 4h and 2h actually engages and disengages, so its nothing major, i dont think. Just the display doesn't stop flashing in 2h.
So i disconnected the free wheel engage switch and the display stoped flashing, so i took it out, thinking that it may of been stuck on, but i cleaned it and tested the switch and it seems to be working fine, so i reinstalled it, but the problem remains the same.
So is it possible that the actuator is not moving the full distance to disengage the free wheel engage switch, or the switch is faulty or is it most likely something else.
Its probably worth mentioning, that I had a new engine rear main seal put in just over a month ago, so the gearbox had to come out, but it has worked fine for the 10,000 k's since then, and i have never had any problems before, usually only takes 2 or 3 flash's to engage or dis engage when going slow and instant if doing around 90 km/hr. Also, the 4x4 system gets used frequently, probably about 4 times a day between 4h and 2h, so prehaps its getting used a bit 2 often.
Cheers in advance for your help
