Hi folks, just bought a Jimny so a new member on here! :)

Just realised in 4WD the light flashes after around 20 seconds. Seen ive to check vaccum hoses and found 2 rusted through pipes. Replaced these with brake piping (Pressuming thats sufficient?) and problem still there.

Someone previously appears to have been mucking around with vaccum stuff under battery and has a vaccum pipe missing from a grey solenoid (Unless its an exhausting port?) and the same solenoid is loose and has had its wiring extended.

Heres a few pics of said bits, does all appear connected as it should? Any common faulty parts?





If anybody could compare that would be greatfully appreciated. Just so i know everythings where it should be!

Heres a pic of the wee beauty!

:)

Perfect thanks!

I actually have a set of Vitara manual hubs ive just reconditioned if they fit the same?

Also, fitting manual lockers wouldnt solve the flashing light which would drive me insane, so how would i go about fixing that?

Cheers!
