used the 4wd to climb a hill by my house

i shifted it into full time 4wd..

climbed the hill

at the top i stopped, put it in 2wd again, then backed up to make sure it was disengaged

anyway drove home without the light on, washed my jeep and backing it out of the barn, the part time light is on

i pushed the lever all the way forward and it stayed on

what do i do to get it off?

i cant find this

all the diagrams im finding show its on the front side, under the drivers seat

i pulled it out and its a 4 prong plug in style, what i was given at napa and what is shown on the internet is that its a 2 prong

so where is this stupid switch?

Should be a 2 pin connector. On NP231. On NP 242 I am not sure what the later years used but the used to be 2 pin as well. Only time I have seen a 4 pin is on the early JEEPs with vacuum
Disconnect. Which a 2000 does not have.

mine does not look anything like that...mine on a 1999 with the 242 is a 4 prong


I pulled it out, lubricated the plunger with wd40, installed it and its off

but mine does not look like that....and thats the same spot where my sensor is too

I have a 1998 - same issue - so you just lubricated the contacts at the sensor-plug, right ? -- Thanks !
