You have a bad ground. Looked for a shared ground on the light sockets in the rear of the car. If one ground gets loose the lights go nuts. To test your 4WD put it in 4H and drive it at least 20 feet so the hubs lock in, put it on jack stands and see if all four tires spin. Or go to an empty parking lot, in rear wheel drive do a 360 degree turn, then try in 4WD your turning radius in 4WD should really suck compaird to 2wd

It happend to a chevy i had. Idont think its normal, but stuff happens. If you lower your spare tire and take it out, there is almost enough room to sit up under there and start searching for your lose ground.
