automotive off road vehiclesWhy is my 4 wheel drive light flashing?
In this manner, how do you reset 4wd light?
To reset the Change Oil light turn the ignition on but do not start and then push the gas pedal 3 times. The Service 4WD light is most likely the 4WD switch on the dashboard. If the lights are acting funny then the switch needs to be replaced. There is a quick fix for it though.

4x4, also known as 4-by-4 or four-wheel drive, refers to a system where a vehicle's engine power is sent to all four wheels evenly so that they are all moving at the same speed. When it comes to how a vehicle moves its wheels, there are plenty of options: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
- Strange noises: You may hear one or more odd sounds coming from the transfer case, or from under your vehicle.
- Shifting gears becomes difficult: This can happen with both manual and automatic transmissions that work with transfer cases.
