    So, a big thanks to Blackhawk88. My 4wd light was flashing and not engaging. At first I thought it might have something to do with the locker mod I did. Welp, after finding this thread I remembered two weeks ago I drove through the Gila river and the water was about 3 feet deep. I took the actuator out and pulled it apart and it was full of water and the little motor had begun to rust. I cleaned it all up and soldered the two pairs of contacts, put it all back together and works like a champ. I probably won't be trying to drive through rivers after this debacle.

    ^ Great news! If you want, lay a bead of silicone around the edge of the housing before putting it back in to make it more water tight.

    I thought about that too but doesn't the front diff extend the breather up in the engine bay next to the fuse box?
