If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

It helps if you can remember you fitted a 2wd low switch when you take the transfer box out and replace it and before you spend some time looking for broken wires because the 4wd light won't come on :whistle:

Thank you very much for that guide.
So the custom-installed switch can be used while the vehicle is already in 4WD-H or 4WD-L mode? By toggling the switch while any of those two modes are already active, the vacuum system will be invoked to engage or disengage the front hubs?
I suppose that the front propeller shaft will still remain connected to the transfer box in 4WD and 4WD-L modes, no matter of the position of that switch? So the front prop shaft (and front diff) will rotate anyway, but they won't have any load when the switch is off?
Does this modification work both for older Jimnys with mechanically operated transfer box (stick-shift) and also for newer Jimnys with electrically operated transfer box (push-button)?

Has anyone tried this trick of installing a switch on the blue/black + red spots wire in a newer Jimny with electrical ("push button") transfer box?
Is it safe to apply in such a car?
