No time and no garage to look at it myself, plus its been bitterly cold. Anyway, its a sotf system, that won't engage. Mechanic said the 4x4 switch was falty and shorted out and took out the controller. I have a hard time believing that a switch that has not been damaged will SHORT out and take out a controller. Has anyone heard of this?

Check out the FAQ: http://isuzufaq.ibctech.ca/#faq68 So why is this such is mis-diagnosed problem from reputable mechanics?
