Am I right in thinking that going in to 4WD using  manual 4WD gear lever does not display 4H or 4L on the instrument display but only a 4WD light?

Many thanks

My Gen 4 shows the same 4WD icon for both high and low. No other indication of being in low.

My 2011 Gen3 shows 4WD and 4WD-L when in 4WD modes. I don’t know which Jimny you have?

That is correct. On pre-2005 models only a 4wd light shows. There is no indication of low range other than the position of the stick.

Even my 1984 Jimny gen 2 got a 4wd light, so 1984 to 2004 then :)
2005 got the 4wd lo as well.

Mine is now blinking and flashing sometimes the 4wd light one blink or double speed, and sometimes the 4wd-L blinking with doublespeed.
Only does this when below -2.
Very annoying as it works fine at above zero and I got this large battery in the way of the solenoids and it is very cold outside.

You only need the 4L light on push-button Gen3 cars, because there is no other indication available (except a racing engine!).
