4x4 appears to be working but light flashing was created by dandogman

Tried 4x4 mode on off road today, appears to work but light on dash flashes which I read in the manual means it isn't working, but I think it does work (does that make sense?)

Also - noticed on front wheels has a little switch from 2 to 4 wheel drive on each side - do I need to switch these on too?

Any thoughts?

You have manual free wheeling hubs thats why the light flashes you have to turn then to 4x4 then select 4wd on you tranferbox

It may well flash, you need to block off the vacuum pipe, have a look through the technical articles for the details

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Just took some pics - looks like cable has been cut and filled

And on a different subject - this didn't look good either

it might be the filling of the pipes is passing causing the light to flash but if you had manual hubs fitted i wouldnt bother about the flashing light, mine flashes with the manual hubs,

also your problem with the oil is your king pin bearings are gone and need replacing,

you need this

and this is how you do it,
