the wires that run from the idicator lamp switch are cut. they run from lamp switch on the axel along the frame to right under the radiator, i cant find the other end that they hook up 2 can anyone tell me were they go??? please its almost winter and i need 4 wheel drive thanks.. ps could these wires be the reAson my 4 wheel drive isnt working????

its a 1998 1500 4x4 ram larime slt 5.9

i need 2 know were the wires go from the cad indicator lamp switch

 

is it just a hot wire and a ground, if so could i just put in a switch from the battery???

 

no, it should be a loop between the two wires when in 4wd, and no that isnt the reason for the 4wd not working, probably a vacuum leak, or a bad cad actuator

 

so i could just splice the wires togher??
i put a vacume gadge on and its fine; i also pulled the vacume shift motor and tested it. so wht do i try next??

 

is your t-case engauging? splicing the wires will do nothing, unless it is the cluster side of the harness, then your 4wd light will be on all the time, the light and wires dont affect the engaugment of the 4wd

 

what and were is the cad actuator???

 

cad (central axle disconnect) vacuum actuator on the front axle

 

do this... in 2wd, engine off, you should be able to turn the front drive shaft by hand, then in 4wd, engine off, the shaft shouldnt turn, if it does the t-case isnt engauging, if the shaft doesnt turn, there is a problem with the cad, vacuum, or front diff
