Default 4 wheel full time indicator dash light
I swapped out my 231 transfer case for a 242. I installed the bulb in the dash but the indicator for 4 wheel full time doesn't light up. Obviously there is something else I need to do????

I'm not sure. I plugged in the existing wire. 2 wheel part time lights up but full time does not.

Will need to find out if the shift indicator is the same part for 231 and 242.
