    It was working a few weeks ago. Feels like it is shifting into 4 hi and 4 lo, but no light on dash. Rear Diff locker light works. I replaced all the bulbs in the dash about a month ago so I doubt its burned out already. Where do I start?

    Make sure you replaced the bulbs correctly

    It (bulb) may have come loose while on the trails. Check it.

    Also, check your fuse, cab side - bottom left 20A.

    Are you sure you didn’t cover the light w/ electrical tape? That’s how I fixed all those annoying lights of mine :anonymous:
