Hi, I have a '90 Brumby, and the 4WD light remains on, evern though, as far as i'm aware, the 4WD is disengaged? I have tried engaging 4wd Hi then Lo, then disengaging, but even with the shift lever hard to the floor the light still remains on, and I can feel the 4WD disengage. Is it just a dodgy switch, am I just thinking things when I think ive disengaged it and it could be a gear box problem, or what else might it be? And how can I fix it?

Thanks, Matt

the switch as far as I can remember lives next to the Hi / Lo lever under the plastic of the console, it is a very simple operation to gently lift the plastic surround of the Hi / Lo lever and fix the switch. watch out for the plastic as it isn't the strongest and the tabs that hold the Hi / Lo lever cover in place have a tendancy to break

I no longer have the brumby console so I can't take photos but Im sure one of the many brumby owners on the board can

same thing happened to my Brumby. The switch on the lever under the console had broken. I got another switch from a MY wagon, but had to change the plug to make it fit the wiring loom.

not a problem, the previous owner of my brumby used a hose clamp and a bit of wood to make the switch work again in my brumby. it was one of the few things he didn't try to fix with locktite superglue
