    The blinking lights should stop blinking and just stay lit after you have driven a few meters in 4H.

    Yes, it will be in 4WD.

    Otep,

    Actually I set it to 4h this afternoon, and ran for a couple of meters, its still keeps on blinking... I might be having problems with the switch.. but is the 4h engaging in 4wd? meaning working even when its blinking? thanks...

    for the blinking front tire indicators, either solenoid switch or hose problem lang yan. madali lang yan ayusin. i had the same problem, and replaced the switch and replaced one switch (dalawa yan silang magkatabi near the air filter area) and ok na.

    di ko pa nakita ang bill ko so i don't know how much pero it is the set of two solenoid switches ebhind the airfilter. near the antena when you open the hood. you can't miss it. parang sa taas pa nga ng wheel well naka mount.

    When the lights are blinking, the 4wd is engaged even if you are in 2H.

    Automatic na yan. The SS4wd system was designed to be fail safe. That is why it goes to 4wd mode in the event of a failure.

    luckytruck,

    Update mo ko diyan sa repair mo ha. hehehehe. I think I have a hose problem on mine. Have to check pa. Saan mo nga pala pinagawa?

    OTEP,

    We have same problem on our gen2, i told our driver to shift it temporarily to 4H. Nawala na yun blinking.

    Is this electrical related? pwede ko ba pagawa ito sa wizzards? A friend of mine told me electricals lang daw yun.

    Pero i think youre right about this 4wd setting.

    If anything fails in the 4wd system, the vehicle will automatically go into 4wd. So if you shift into 4wd with the blinking lights, it is in 4wd.

    We tried it already, with all four wheels lifted.

    Lancelot,

    Pwedeng electrics or vacum ang problema.

    Otep,

    thanks and thanks also for the suggestion, I ran my vehicle in 4h since yesterday and right now, blinking stopped and its all light up... Also located the 2 solenoid switches, I did some cleaning with the air hoses and probably helped in restoring the 4h with steady lights already... thanks also to lucktruck...

    yung pajero ko nag bliblink yung 4 wheels sa panel habang ini start. pero once na umandar na, 2 wheels na lang ang naka ilaw. normal lang ba ito o signs din ng vacum leak. thanks.

    Sturbo,

    I think that's ok, mine sometimes blink (frnt wheel indicator)... but not all the time... But just like what otep suggested, from time to time use the 4wd, instead...

    guys, try nyo rin to clean the solenoid switches with contact cleaner. i tried it with mine and for a week, nawala ang blinking sa front indicators. but then nung bumalik ang blinking, ni-replace ko na lang ang isang solenoid. medyo obsessive compulsive kasi ako, ayaw ko na nagblink and ayaw ko rin mag 4 hi.

    just go to any auto electrical shop and i think they can help you find the right solenoid switch. ituturo nyo lang sa kanila kung saan. and you don't have to replace both. Maybe only one has a problem. don't go to the casa muna kasi sigurado mahal yan.

    wala akong digital cam at the moment so di ko ma-post ang picture ng solenoid but you can't miss it talaga, its mounted right on top of the front passenger side wheel well.
