Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum so any help would be greatly appreciated! When I attempt to put my 06 Ram 1500 into 4WD (HI) the light just blinks, it sounds like something in the front is locking in or actuating and the truck even feels if though it is in 4WD becuase when I go around a turn on the dry pavement it rubs. Then I try putting it in 4 LO while in nuetral and it does the same thing, just continually blinks and I hear the same sound come from the front as if something locked in. I also get a SERVICE 4WD light when I first start my truck but that also blinks only 3 times and goes away. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? THANKS!

 

Sorry I dont know a lot about the 4wd but the best I can do right now is direct you to the links in my sig for an 06 Srvc Man for info and guidance.

Maybe someone else can chime in and assist more

 

The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a particular condition or state.

• A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the desired transfer case position is flashed.
• A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift) elsewhere(Refer to 08 - Electrical/Electronic Control Modules/MODULE, Drivetrain Control (DTCM) - Operation) is not met. Note that this flashing will continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
• If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL has completed.
• No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system
