Getting the Wheeling Fever

Hey yall! I have a 93 Montero LS and the diagram on the dash for the 4 Wd is blinking. Actually just the front 2 wheel indicators are blinking and I'm not in 4 WD. It will blink for a long while and then stop, and then start up again. Could it be just a loose wire? I used the 4 WD 2 weeks ago to get out of the mud and when I use it, ALL the wheel lights blink and the little box that indicates I am in 4 WD is on. But now, only the front 2 wheels continuously blink. What am I missing here?

Sorry, I am definately NOT car saavy!

Thanks

Need a Spot

I had an earlier model (Gen 1) for years, and that usually meant that the hubs were auto-locked, and they didn't disengage, when you took it out of 4WD. It may mean something different for your model, but I'd just check the manual (if you have one).
A quick thing to try is to put it in 4WD, make sure it's all engaged, then switch back to 2WD.
