When i first got my Jeep in May the "Part Time" light on the gauge cluster worked intermittenly. Now it doesnt work at all. Ive checked the bulb and it is fine. What should i check?

there should be a sensor on the transfer case... check the connection as over time it may work loose and become filled with crud.

You can clean it with electrical contact cleaner.
Make sure you press the metal ball inward to allow the cleaner to get inside.

Most times cleaning it is only a band-aid.

Replacement is usually best
Go to RockAuto they are the cheapest

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # TCA9 $19.29
ACDELCO Part # C1765A $27.97

If you are running the NP231 you only need one
If you have the NP242, you have TWO one for PT/ one for FT
