There is an electrical switch on the bottom of the front axle diff - mine is broken. What does it do?

Its probably the switch that turns the 4WD light on - try putting it in 4WD and see if the dash shows a lightOriginally posted by ldnmustardThere is an electrical switch on the bottom of the front axle diff - mine is broken. What does it do?

The dashboard light comes on no problem when in 4WD. The switch on the bottom of the axle is well smashed so must do something else, but what?!Originally posted by LindaIts probably the switch that turns the 4WD light on - try putting it in 4WD and see if the dash shows a lightLast edited by ldnmustard; 21 January 2005, 01:28.Comment

It could be stuck on. Sounds like the ADD indicator switch like Linda said. Is it near where the pic shows?Originally posted by ldnmustard

It turned out that the small switch that was broken on the very bottom of my
front differential was an oil temp sensor that assists the 4 wheel drive in
some strange fashion. The only dealer who could get one for me was a
Toyota dealer for the absolutely horrendous price of £59.57. So if you’ve
broken yours and think you need one, unless you keep your Hilux in 4
wheel drive for long periods of time take my advice and don’t bother to get
one - my Hilux has worked in both 2 and 4 wheel drive with no problems
whatsoever for the last 3 months without one so I’m assuming yours will as
well.Comment

Don't quote me on this but I remember reading somewhere that this switch will prevent 4WD from operating if oil temp is too high.
