4x4 red light! Help!

I got in my truck this morning and it was around 34 degrees. When I started it, the 4wd red light indicator was on. My taco was in 2wd. just below where the green 4wd logo is on the dash is the same logo only in red. After a few minutes the light fades and it was off. I was thinking it was the cold but the past few morning have been a lot colder and it never did that. Any ideas what happened?

 

Something to do with this possibly?

ok so that red light is still coming on. but its not at full brightness, its dim. i believe its the rear diff light. but when i first strat my truck cold it stays on, as it warms up it flicker on and off but only at a dim setting. anyway it could just be the bulb or a sensor? or do you think its much worse. please help cause im freaking out!

 

Do you have a button for the rear locker? If so it might be pushed in accidently. Just push it and the button should come out.

 

i do have that button and i pushed it, the light goes to full brightness and then starts to blink like its engadging. but the light is dim, not at full brightness and slowly flickers on and off when i drive and i notice nothing different when im driving. any thoughts?

 

so i just put my truck in 4lo and followed the steps in the manual and pressed the locking diff button. it never locked and just continued to blink so its not working. you think its a sensor or something more serious? any thoughts?

 

any ideas guys. its really getting me worried. ive done some reaserch but people say that it can be a million different things.

 

Not million things. 99.9% sure its the stupid position switch in Diff locker. You can remove it and check it or just replace it.

 

I'm at the stealership having it looked at cause I don't have enough time to do it myself. I hope it's covered under warranty but with my luck it's probably not!! Ill update when I find out more. Thanks for the help guys

 

yeah, sounds like a wiring or switch issue. let us know and hope you get it resolved.

 

ok guys all is fixed. it was the rear connector. they said it was corroted. they changed out the rear and a front connector cause they said the front was damaged as well. they probably lied but whatever. so i had both connectors changed out and an oil change and it was $300!!! oh well at least its working again. thanks for the help guys

 

300? They realy got you on this one did they..
