Many thanks in anticipation of replies!

Many thanks for reply,

I have swapped the pipes round on the actuator on the axle and moved the pipe to the otherside and moved the vacuum from the back to the front of it to check to see if actuator was working and I had vacuum.

If you put your tongue on end of the pipe it appears to be sucking off the yellow solenoid. Also bypassed the metal pipes on chassis leg to check for leaks and all appears to be ok.

Do you think it will be the solenoids?

I have found one online (new) and I searched for a 2012 and it comes up with one for 96-05 would this be the same or would you advise to find a main dealer part? (our local main dealer went out of business just recently and a new one has not been appointed as yet!)

Regards

Hi,

When i swapped the pipes the first time the lights went out for so long and then came back on again after approximately 30 seconds.

Hi,

I have ordered new solenoids and fingers crossed this solves the problem. I will report back with the results.

Thanks

Hi sorry it has taken me so long to post an update.

I got the new part re the 4 wd / 2wd lights, fitted it and all is working as it should now.

The part I took off was fairly rusty.

Many thanks for your help and advice.
