Question Possible VIC warning light..?

Hey all,

Quick question: On my VIC, the rear wheel indicator lights on the vehicle graphic of the jeep (did that make any sense?) light up sometimes, and other times not, regardless if my lights are on or not. The diff is full of fluid. Is this a normal occurrence or could there be something wrong in the rear end? I know that the pinion bearing is shot and the last time I fully drained and replaced the diff fluid, I checked all the gears in the diff and didn't see any noticeable damage to anything inside.

Any info on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Probably a malfunction with the switch on the t-case, or the linkage needs adjusting a little. The display only tells whether it's in 2WD or 4WD, that's it.

Cool, that's what I thought but wasn't sure...better to ask the dumb question than let something go that I'm sure about that could backfire on me.

Thanks for the 411.
