Default Silly question

Where on your dash is the 4X4 indicator?

Here's why I ask.I got my 4X to work finally,but there was no light.Checked all the instrument cluster bulbs,all good.Shined a flashlight into each light socket on the cluster,but no 4X4 indicator.

So unless my instrument cluster came from a 2wd,the light must be somewhere else.But where?

Its right below the shifter on the floor. If its not lit in 4WD then check fuses and the bulb. My light wasn't lit in 4WD and it was just the 4WD indicator/seat belt warning light fuse.

Well that explains why I couldn't find it.My truck is missing the bezel around the transfer case shifter.Guess I'll have to Macguyver something up for that.

Big thanks.

Here is a pic of mine. I customized mine to say 4x4. 4WD is stock.
