4x4 light flashing
I have a 2013 hilux 2.5 d4d d/c srx. Randomly I will be driving in 2wd and the 4x4 light will start flashing. If i shift it into 4h and back to 2h it goes off. Then it will happen again after another 4 hours of driving or so. Another problem, when i shift into 4x4 the light does not come on. Anyone have any information that could help me? Thanks

Re: 4x4 light flashing
I get the impression that it could be due to a loose/faulty wire. Check all the plugs connecting to the gearbox for damage etc.
Have a look at this thread to see where the different connectors are. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37283.
Can you feel if the 4x4 is in fact engaging? You should very quickly feel it if you engage 4x4 and turn sharply whilst driving forward or in reverse slowly. Obviously whilst on a loose surface such as gravel.

The 4x4 seems to be working fine. I can definitely feel that it is engaged when I try to turn. I just don't understand what the flashing light is trying to tel me. I'll check the connections and see if I find anything. Thanks for your help

Re: 4x4 light flashing
The actuator that engages 4x4 is faulty, google the forum and you will find it.
