Hello to all I have not posted anything in a long time. I am like the relative that only calls went he needs something. Help! I have an 06 CRD and yesterday I put it in 4WD for the first in awhile and now the part time light stays on in 2WD. I know it`s not stuck in 4wd. I am think that the shift sensor or switch maybe is the problem. Anyone on the board had this problem, if so what was the fix.
Thanks Rob

We have a sensor go bad. Not too expensive but a little hard to get to. Only takes about 10 minutes to replace. I couldn't get a wrench on it so I used a large pair of vise grips.

Mine went bad, and then went good again. I figure next time I go wheeling, it'll go bad again. It seems that there's a defect in that more go bad than seems normal. Given that pretty much everyone who actually puts their Jeeps in 4wd post here.

Guess I'm lucky since my original sensor is still functioning correctly after 7.5 years and many,many,many times going from 2wd to 4wd(and 4low) with zero issues.Then again it might be since I have a '02 and they have had the least amount of problems overall from any other year of KJ.

Makes you wonder how many people who never put their KJ's in 4wd might have a bad sensor. Seems kind of luck-of-the-draw. For instance, am I the only KJ owner who after five years has never had a window regulator go bad?

Now that I said that, my window regulator will go bad tomorrow. Better knock on MDF.

No, my windows are just fine. In fact, when I stupidly locked myself out of my KJ in the middle of nowhere, I couldn't even BREAK the passenger window when hitting it with a 6-foot long steel roadsign post. I don't know if I've got some kind of magic windows, but I know how much power it takes to smash safety glass. This window put up with quite a bit more.

Luckily I was able to shim the window and pull up the lock using a reciprocating saw blade that I happened to have with me (was cutting brush with it) and got back into the car. I just wish I'd tried that first. The glass is all scratched up now. :(
