    Are you saying that the 4WD indicator light stays on (indicating that you are in 4 wheel drive)?

    There is a sensor on the exterior of the transfer case that tells your Wrangler if it's in 4 wheel drive. Make sure that it isn't damaged

    Figured that much but Dodge wants Min. of $100 to scan it and auto stores scaners cant tell me.
    Four wheel works fine untill it reaches operating temp. than ALL the 4x4 ind. lights come on and 4x4 no longer works.
