My 4X4 high and my 4x4 low light comes on at the same time and flashes maybe 3 or 4 times and stops then does it again about 5 minutes later and repeats every five minutes. Whats the problem?

It sounds like there is a short in the wiring. Have you had the computer scanned to see if there are any codes stored? Also, check where the wiring harness attaches to the actuator to make sure it is clean, tight, and not damaged.

Let me know what you find.

No, the other gauges may be working fine. The wiring I'm refering to is on the actual transfer case. There is a wiring harness to the 4wd actuator.

Let me know what you find.
