Default A few Cherokee Issues... HELP!!!

I have a Cherokee 98 LTD with the 4 Litre engine. I bought it a few weeks back and posted about a problem getting it stuck in 4 wheel drive. Changed the oil and used it a bit and it is fine however...

1. If I use the 4WD for any length of time I get a grinding noise. It has been suggested that it may need a new CV boot or a clutch plate? Anyone had this problem be able to clarify?

2. I've got an intermittent reverse light problem, it doesn't come on in reverse but I've seen it on once as I was reversing towards a mirror.

3. I'm getting the sound of a cog turning just under where the 2WD/4WD selector stick is, could this relate to my grinding? It doesn't sound too smooth.

4. I got a picture of a key with a cross through it came up on my dash but disappeared after turn the ignition off and back on, driving down the road 5 minutes later the airbag light came on and the speedo and rev counter just stopped and returned to zero.

Any help greatfully received!

Problems 1 and 3 sounds like a tc problem for sure. The other two problems sound electrical and I wont pretend I can help you there.
