    I never saw that but did have a 4x4 engagement light come on a few times.

    Found out a few solenoids were bad. I just replaced them all, 3 of them couldn't figure out which one was bad.

    Took care of the issue.

    I will say at end of winter I get underneath and pull plugs apart and clean and put just a little dielectric grease in them.

    Mag chloride hard on stuff.

    I gots a feelin its related to the batteries.

    I'll be curious if new ones will fix that since the batts cause all kinda electrical dumbness with these trucks when they get low.

    I had trouble with batteries causing issues but batteries all tested good it turned out to be just needed a good cleaning of the terminals.

    Fixed it right up.

    I have all kinds of lights come on and immediately go off on start up.

    On my, and my wife's, vehicles.

    I think it's like a split-second diagnostic, then the lights go out when they don't sense anything wrong.
