Stopping the flashing 4WD light with pictures

For reference I shorted the cables going to this vacuum switch, number 4 in the diagram. 4WD engages successfully but the light still flashes

...The next issue I had was related to the vacuum system and the 4WD controller, probably because I have a type 9 Jimny the 4WD controller was updated and expects input from the vacuum switch for both locking (closed circuit) and unlocking (open circuit), so shorting the switch would not work. Interestingly even so the transfer case would shift perfectly through all the position, but it messes up the light on the dashboard so you are stuck with memorising the transfer case position, not very good. Plugged the pipes going to the hubs and everything was back to normal...

Found some helpful info in the "My Jimny" section, thanks Sergiu!
Shorting the switch did not work on a Type 9 so my South American spec Type 7 could be similar. I'll give blocking the pipes a try and hope my vacuum system doesn't have other leaks. Worst case I'll have working 4WD with a slightly annoying flashing light.

Did you solve it? This thing is driving me crazy!

I'll sum my history:

Bought a Jimny 2009, the 4WD and 4WD-L was working as well - the 4L light was blinking (while using it) and I could change from 4WD-L to 4WD, but the 4L light keeps blinking (until I turn 4WD off).

Then, after reading this post, I did that short-circuit and it worked ALMOST 100%... Now I do can change from 4x2 to 4WD and 4WD-L, and I can change from 4WD-L to 4WD and 4x2... But as soon as I put on 4x2 again, the both lights start blinking no matter what.

Do you guys have any thoughts?

Have you checked the condition of the wires at the transfer case end? It's also possible that the switch on the transfer case could be bad also.

Oh and be careful taking the switch out as there's a small ball bearing behind it that tries to disappear.

I just replaced both switches - and tested (continuity) before replacing! But everything is working fine on the T-case. I just found that it is a problem for type 7-9 jimnys...

Here's why "The next issue I had was related to the vacuum system and the 4WD controller, probably because I have a type 9 Jimny the 4WD controller was updated and expects input from the vacuum switch for both locking (closed circuit) and unlocking (open circuit), so shorting the switch would not work."
