4wd indicator light not turning on

O.K. guys and gals, I need your help again !
When I shift in 4wd, I have no indication on the dash to tell me i'm in 4wd.
I checked the bulb, it's fine, now I would like to know where I can find the switch to trun the light on

I looked in the haynes manual, but it doesn't say anything about this.
thanks in advance
FRED

there is a sensor in the transfer case right next to the front drive shaft, I would ohm it out to see if it is still good.

If i'm not mistaken the switch should be above the transfercase it's alittle tuff to get to but can be done.

After time the switch gets gunked up and can be clean and should be good to go after that i cleaned mine about a month ago and has been working good after that i just used some electrical cleaner to clean the inside.
