andy_macdxb Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hey All, I set off on general 'black top' trips with the car on the green 2 rear wheel mode (model 2008) I drive about 30 km and the green rear wheel indicator switches to the orange central diff lock. The drive doesn't seem to be altered, therefore, just guessing a glitch. Is this a common fix, like a reset or something, or is it more serious (hoping not), sure some of you have encountered similar... Thanking in advance, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanking in advance, Andy Hi Andy, It's relatively common and means that the solenoid is potentially on the way out. It will often reset if you stop and start the car again. Estimates I saw on the Pajero forums show a price of around 3 - 400AED to get a new one installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was in a soft spot and I saw 2 of the wheel go form green to no light and I clearly felt the same 2 wheel loosing traction. I engaged 4HLC and got out very easily. After I got unstuck the Center Diff light went Amber. I stopped. Re start the engine et voila’ Should I change the solenoid as a preventive measure? By the way what is a solenoid?
