My 92' Ram 150 4x4 light does not work. Took out the bulb and put in
back in and it worked just fine. After I got everything back on the
dash the light don't work. Took the bulb out again and replaced it
with a new one and still nothen. Is there somekind of a "switch" that
triggers the light to come on? Or what can be wrong?

Thanks

When you first turn the vehicle on, there is a lamp test and all the dash
indicator lights come on.

My 4x4 light never lights up on the lamp test.

Then it is not the switch, but an open in the wiring somewhere you will have
to troubleshoot. Or it could be the connecter where the bulb plugs into

If it's like other vehicles I've had you might try cleaning the contacts on
both the instrument panel and the bulb socket. A standard pencil eraser
does a good job. Also adjust (i.e. bend) the tabs on the socket to ensure a
good contact with the instrument panel printed circuit.

The 4x4 light works now, must be a lose connection somewhere, thanks to
all who helped.
