4x4 indicator light intermittently flash ... solutio
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2017 3:46 pm
Few days ago I noticed the 4x4 engaged indicator on the dash would start flashing without engaging the 4x4 gear...
after inspection I found the culprits to be three connectors next to the gear box. Appeared that my dogs had had a go at chewing the plugs. After a quick fix with some insulation tape the problem went away, however I wasnt too happy about how exposed the plugs were so I decided to do a little upgrade (hopefully not a downgrade) by placing the wires in a waterproof box and joind the cables using terminal block...
here are some pics, any thoughts, seems to be a lot safer now
First image is of the old connectors (kept them for future)
Second image is inside the box
