skidoo_j Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It means your vacuum system has activated the switch for the light. Which typically indicates that the vacuum has activated the shift collar on you passenger side disconnect, and that there is now power going to your front axle.

Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 But i changed my front axle so it is a non vacume one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoo_j Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What did you do with the vacuum lines? did you reconnect any of them so that they controlled the switch? the vacuum switch is located under the pressure bottle. It looks like a blue ufo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakesjeepmj1988 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 i can't remember what i did with the lines but i have been driving with this axle for more than a year and never had this light come on and all the sudden it started coming on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidoo_j Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 if it's totally random, you've got a short. if coming on when in 4x4 i'd say maybe vacuum is activating the switch. You could unplug the wire going to the switch under the pressure tank and see, or follow your vacuum line from there out and see if the vacuum line still goes to the back of the transfer case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Of course, the light is there to remind you you're in 4WD. If the light is coming on when you're in 4WD, that's what it's supposed to do. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem its just that light just started coming on and i have been driving the jeep and using 4x4 for like a year so i was just wondering what it meant Thanks guys i just think its weird that it just started doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just noticed today that mine comes on whether or not I'm actually in 4x4, so long as the lever is pushed back, even if it's not quite far enough back to engage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
