4wd indicator switch - where to get a new one?

Featured Replies

I think my 4wd switch on my D/R transmission finally bit it. Got it to light up a little bit yesterday, but nothing since, no matter how much I wiggle, throw, or plead with the transfer shifter. Even checked the connectors up front, couldn't find a problem there. "Lo" indicator switch is working fine, though. So....how do I get hold of a replacement? Kinda like having a functional indicator in the dash (ask me about driving 50 miles in 4 Hi @ 75mph sometime......)

 

I have one that I have left over from a swap...not sure if the plug will be the same...although its just two wires to spice a new plug on.

The self service wrecking yards here have lots of subie parts...not sure about your location...but its a cheap part.

Yeah, there are absolutely ZERO down here in central Florida. Or perhaps even all of Florida. Whereas Soobs are thick as fleas back in Colorado, where I moved from. I sure do miss my weekly trips to the p'n'p to go "browsing" for parts.  Now I have to rely on buying stuff new or the whims and mercies of other L-series owners.

 

How much would you want for that switch?

All I see on RA is a backup switch, is that what you're talking about?

That is completely NOT the part I need; on the EA82 5sp D/R, the 4wd indicator switch screws into the xmsn body at the back, like the backup light switch and neutral start switch.
