it needs new solenoids
Why does four wheel drive light flash?
For whatever reason, the front axle is not engaging.
The transfer case is shifted to either the 4HI or 4LO pos but is not locked in fully or its a malfuncion. I recently had this happen as well and it was the solenoid valve on the vacuume of the 4 wheel drive. Aamco fixed it great and it is a part that only the dealer carries.
No!
It is like the turn signal flasher dash light . just to remind you it is in four wheel drive.
your front hubs are still locked.make sure it is in 2 wheel drive,and try backing up to release them.
A malfuntion has been detected , could be a sensor
The light that comes on when 4 wheel drive is engaged is not the service light. It is just an indicator light that comes on to let you know the 4 wheel drive is engaged. It will go off when the 4 wheel drive is disengaged.

Shift it on 2H, then "REVERSE" for about 10 to 15 Feet....
Because there is a short in the bulb. Bang on the dash just above the light and see if it comes back on, mine did.
