RohanH Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hello Everyone Today I was on the way to Fewbie event. Suddenly orange light started flashing and green light indicating rear wheel drive went off. Then I stopped the car and checked 4H was not working. After reaching meeting point, I switched off and switched on the car, then all light working properly and even I could engage 4H. So after discussion with Sri kumar I left the drive and returned home. Sorry I had to left the drive. @Srikumar as you rightly said the orange lights were again started flashing after about 15 mins and green lights went off. Please refer attached photo. Please advise what shall I do now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 This could be either the solenoids that engage the vacuum, a loose vacuum hose, or just the sensor itself. Better bring it to the workshop to let them verify the above. 6 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Rahimdad Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 There is already a discussion on this earlier. My experience is this only happens when you are in 2WD, if you select 4WD it will not happen. Sharing the link below. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RohanH Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Today I met garage. they suggested to change the Free wheel valve(their word for solenoid switch). Already ordered it as it was not available. Will change it this week. thank you everyone for advise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangeld Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Personally I thought that it was a warning sign that the gather cover had a small crack in it. My mistake 🤦♂️ 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake 🤦♂️ 90% of the time that’s the problem. The rubber cracks, sand gets in and the rod jams. You can usually clean it and put some oil on it and get it moving again. As a temporary fix, you can clean the oil and grease off the rubber with brake cleaner and stick the broken bits back together with superglue or black silicon. Black silicon will last longer than superglue as it flexes with the rubber. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
