86subaru Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 i have a 88 manual 4wd wagon w/ 180,000mi , the 4wd works good, but the lo light only comes on , no 4wd hi or even the light on the dash it is also a gl , i think a type of plug on the tranny or around the shifter ? thanks :cornfuzz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Jim, your statement "no 4wd hi or even the light on the dash " Is a bit confusing as you also say"the 4wd works good" Does the car move in 4wd high range? If you are asking where the switch for the dashboard indicator that tells you you are in "4WD HI" is, you will find it under the console behind the 4wd lever.

86subaru Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 it's the light that tells you your in 4wd , which is on the dash lo-hi and a picture of a car and telling you are in 4wd , mine only says low , the 4wd works just fine , i was wondering where might be the problem , when i first bought it everything worked just fine , thanks :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warp3 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 When you are in 4WD High, the green "4WD" and "tire" lights should illuminate. When in 4WD Low the amber "Low" light is added to the display. There is no "High" light if that's what you are asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 skip, the 4wd switch is in the transmission itself. the switch in the center console is for the LO. Jim, its quite possible the bulb in the display could be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Donald, thanks for the clarification but it does not agree with the 88 FSM. Under the section for "Electrical Unit Location" it states "4wd Lo indicator switch---attached to transmission case" I do agree that on a push button single range, the switch for the 4wd indicator is on the transmission case.

86subaru Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 i was working on it today i put it into 4wd and all the lights came on [ the picture of the car w/ 4 wheels] the low light also , so there might be a short in a wire around the console lever:wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
