How to you remove the 4wd switch in the dash??? I think mine has went bad cause it does nothing....TIA is there anyway to check these???

 

If you haven’t done so already, I would check fuses and other more common issues related to the issue prior to pulling the switch. I have never heard of one of these switches going bad. Something the actuator or solenoid go bad as well. Might look there too.

 

I have checked all fuses and the actuator on front axle looks new...and how would you check the one on the transfer case???
Any info would be greatly appreciated cause I just bought this truck like 2 days ago and trying to figure out the 4wd.. this is my first toyota ever

 

To get to that switch, just follow a tutorial on how to replace the stereo. If you have an aftermarket stereo it may be worth a look in case it didn't get plugged back in. this may especially be true if the previous owner yoinked the stereo out before you bought it. they would likely be in a hurry. I would think if the problem was an actuator it would still flash on the gauge cluster when you turned the knob. If there is nothing, then yeah, I'd check the switch and fuses.

 

I have checked all fuses and the switch is plugged in I checked that after I checked the fuses...and I get nothing on the dash no 4hi no 4lo nothing...its like it's not even hooked up but it is... and the actuator on the front axle new brand new and I'm not sure how to check the one of the transfer case... this is my first toyota ever and I just bought it 2 days ago

 

If there is nothing on the dash cluster then I would pull the fuse again, check it with a multimeter (if you haven't already) and also see if you have power to the fuse block. If there is no power there, then start a very careful check for rodent damage, as ican be fairly common depending on where you live.

 

Ok I will check those thank you

 

I would take it back to where you purchased it from or the person who sold it to you. Makes no sense for the 4x4 system not to function two days after you got the truck. Did you test it prior to buying it?

 

Unfortunately not and it was "as is" I didn't think about it till yesterday when I tried it..

 

Damn! Might best to take it to a garage and have them scan it for codes before you start digging into too far.

 

I wonder if someone messed with the bulbs? When you turn the key on and the system does the light bulb check where it lights up the warning lights, do you get a VSC OFF light for a second and then it goes out? The 4lo and 4hi don’t light up during that check. And, don’t get a Check engine light for a sec?
