4 wheel drive light flashing

Asked by Mark Jul 22, 2009 at 06:41 AM about the Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the light is flashing when in 2 wheel drive and when I go into top gear and then slow down to a stop the ABS light comes on. I've heard its a faulty relay switch that needs to be replaced. It engages 4 wheel drive fine. Where is this switch located???

the switch that engages your four wheel drive is faulty. It is a cheap fix you can get a new one from Mitsubishi for about $40 it is located passenger side of the front axle
