My 92's switch is located on thr passenger side on top of the lockout fork
assembly......Get under the truck and locate the pumpkin on the front
axle....Then, follow the axle tube to the passenger side.....You will see an
assembly that has a couple vacuum tubes and an electric wire going to it.....
The switch itself is screwed into the top of the assembly......
It is aplunger-type switch that makes/breaks contact depending on the
location of the engagement forks inside the assembly.....The forks
engage/disengage the passenger side hub and are activated by a vacuum swith
on the torque converter itself....
It may be that the forks arent engaging at all, thus resulting in a no-light
situation....or, the switch itself may be bad.......
I had the opposite problem once.....The vacuum tubes leading to the assemby
were melted due to underhood off-road induced heat......The result was that
the front end was "locked" into 4x4 mode and the light would not go out......
Good luck!
