can't get the indicator lights off on the 4wd buttons. All 4 hi, 4low, 2hi, and nueteral stay lite. The service 4wd lite stays on in the dash. Followed manual procedures and it seems to help till you shut off vehicle, and restart, then all lites are back on. Sounds rough when you drive it this way. All fluids are fine related to the 4wd. Any advise or help would be appreciated. I'm on S.S.I. and my money is very tight. Thankyou Kevin

You will need: small screwdriver, q-tips, and rubbing alcohol.
Pop out the 4WD button assembly from the dash. Unplug the the two wire connectors. Hold the button assembly in your hand face down. make sure you are in a place that, if you were to drop something small you can find it easily, but lets just hope you're careful. With a small screwdriver, pry the back of the assembly from the front....remember to keep the face down in your hands at all times. You see those blue boots with metal contacts on them? These are the things that will fall out easily. Take your time, remember where these boots are located they will pop out easily. Now with a q-tip dipped in alcohol gently clean the metal contacts in the blue boots. Then, with the q-tip and alcohol, clean the whole face of the board that the blue boots come in contact with, paying close attention to the white circle patterns on the board. They may not look dirty but it doesnt take much to make this assembly act nutty. When done cleaning and parts a fully dry, re-assemble and give it a try. How's that for cheap?
