AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I havent wheeled my Pathfinder as much as I would like. I had the chance to wheel it a bit for basically the first time since I've had it this past weekend. My question is I have the manual shift lever not the electronic switch. Is there a light on the dashboard that lights up saying 4WD LO of 4-LO when in 4 Lo?? I cant remember correctly but on my 2006 Frontier I thought there was a light on the dash that indicated 4 LO. Is the lack of this light mean that something is wrong with my 4 LO? And yes, I did push down on the shifter to bypass Neutral to get into the 4 LO position. I just thought for some reason that there should be an indicator light on the dash to distinquish between 4 HI and 4 Lo. Sorry if this is a dumb question just had me wondering is all. Thanks! **Oh and the light that shows all 4 tires does come on when in 4 HI and stayed on when i put it into 4 LO, just no light differentiating 4Hi from 4 LO.

keelhaul Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 There is no 4lo indicator light for the manual shift transfer case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok good I was concerned I had an issue! Thanks for the clarification on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerch641 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) As said, no indicator other than you making the effort to shift into 4 Low. I seem to recall the 4x4 light going off when you shift through Neutral tho. Edited September 3, 2014 by lerch641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah I think it did when I was in neutral. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I would say just to get the hang of getting into 4-low, go to an empty parking lot (where you can only drive straight) and practice the "down and way back" technique. Having come from mostly electronic t-cases myself this helped me immensely. No light indicating hi or low either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't know why you even need a light....If its in 4 lo you'll definitely know lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's funny but on my pathfinder it doesn't feel much different if at all different from 4 hi to 4 lo. In my 06 frontier it's was like night and day difference, but on the pathfinder, not so much. That's mainly the reason I asked actually because I couldn't feel a difference, like I used to feel from the frontier, and there was no light. I thought something was wrong.

Rebelord Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can feel the difference big time. If the truck ia running. Make sure to put the transmission in neutral. Sometimes it helps to ease off the brakes when going to 4L. Lets the gears mesh easily. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I know it's in 4 lo, just doesn't feel like it used to in my frontier. In the frontier it was VERY evident that it was in a lower range than the pathfinder when in 4 lo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What gears do you have? The. 4.33 or 4.63? I ask because I have the 4.63 and 4L and 1st gear only. It crawls even if you want to be stupid and hit 4k rpms. Hehe Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My light used to always be on weather in 4 hi or lo but now for some reason when I shift into 4 hi or low the indicator light no longer comes on...any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelord Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wonder if your frontier had the 4.9s. Maybe that's why you noticed it more? Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Pathfinder Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Not sure it was just much more evident when I was in 4 lo in the frontier. Oh well I'm sure it's fine, just a different feeling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaintbucket Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My 96 has a HUGE difference between 4hi and 4lo. ;P x 2. I used 4LO only once and I definitely felt a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
