So, last night, I was a little stuck, and put our 04 Liberty into four wheel drive, and the light did not come on. It was definitely in 4x4, so I continued to get un-stuck. I promptly removed it form 4x4, and I could tell it released. I figured maybe the bulb was out, and drove home. When I got home, I turned the key off, and then back on to run a bulb check, and the bulb lit up. (keep in mind the shifter is still in 2wd mode) so then I started the Liberty, and the light is on. When I shift into 4wd, the part time light goes out. wtf!! I also tried 4lo, and the 4lo light comes on, and turns off properly. I let it sit all last night, and think about what it had done, and this morning, it is still bass ackwards.

Has anyone run across this problem before? I am very mechanically savey, as I am a Diesel technician for Ford, with access to alldata, so any help with some insight would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jarrod

Yes, there is a sensor on the side of the tcase that goes out.. Not a big problem..

yea man, I have that same problem. while using 4hi my light goes out, and when I put it back into 2wd it goes on. I just ignored it because I heard it is only a switch that only showes what position you are in and it is not causing any other issues. After a few mins or a few hours, it depends it does go back to normal.

That's exactly right. It's not a sensor that affects the operation of the t-case. It simply senses the position of the t-case & if it finds the t-case in the 4X4 position, it turns on the light... & that is all it does, turn on the light.

No worries.

I had a problem where the shifter positions were out of whack, and the 2wd position made the part-time light come on, and all the other 4x4 modes where bumped back one position. The 4x4 always engaged per what 4x4 mode light was on, be part-time, full-time, etc. I was quoted $480 at the dealership in parts and labor to fix it, but since it wasn't really a problem (all modes worked as gauges indicated, but not in correct position), I figured I'd wait. I went camping a few days later and used 4x4 for a few miles and it fixed itself just as mysteriously as it malfunctioned. Way weird Needless to say, I'm thankful...but I'm sure it'll go out of whack again soon enough! Good 'ole Jeep
