before i go and pay a mechanic how do it i would like to do it myself.......

there is a big bolt right under it and its stopping me from getting a good grip.

Take a look at the transfer case manual here: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Pathfinder/2004_Pathfinder/tf.pdf

 

It may point you where you need to go.

Did you have any luck?

i went to the mechanic and had him replace it.

i paid $75 and all he did was cut the wires, put a socket and a rachet up there and lefty loosy.

i was pissed , i could have done it myself. i thought i couldnt fit a rachet up there ... should have tried anyway.

after it was replaced the light stayed on... i replaced the relay also ...

light stays on.

i honestly dont know what to do next.

do i need a scanner to turn off the light ??

im trying to find out where the grounded to the chassis also
