part time light stays on

[Jaxso32]

After finishing my transmission swap my part time 4wd light has stayed on for some reason. I don't have the linkage attached for it but I pulled the lever on the t-case up as far as it would go, so I know that it is in 2wd. Any ideas what would be causing the light to stay on?

Doesn't pulling the lever put it in 4wd? Pushing it down to the floor is 2wd. Or are you talking about the linkage directly on the tcase?

Lever on the transfer case, sorry thought I said that in the post

The light switch is controlled by the vacuum crap at the CAD end of things. Could be a bad switch, or you could have hooked up the vacuum lines wrong or something.

The other thing that comes to mind is that the part time light on my MJ would stick on for a bit after I put it back in 2WD. I figured the little bit of drivetrain binding held it in 4x4 for a bit. If I let it coast the 4x4 would disengage and the light would go out. Same as when I was parked when I went from 4x4 to 2WD, I'd have to roll a short distance before it disengaged. I could even shut the engine off in 4x4, shift to 2WD, walk away for a couple days, and the Part Time light would sometimes come back on when I started the MJ and it stayed on until I started moving.

Gogmorgo I don't think it is the lines but I'll give it a try thanks, and I've driven it a couple miles and it's still on unfortunately
