They flash when the Transfer Box is going through its ratio change....

I trust the lever is either in the High Ratio side or the Low Raytio side....if they are and the lights are still flashing - do you have drive?? or when you select drive does a message pop up telling you to select neutral???

Might be an idea to get it on diagnostics and read any faults in the Transfer Box ECU....

If you get drive OK and no message on the dash, I would think Transfer Box ECU playing silly buggers - if you get warnings on the dash, suspect transfer box ratio change motor.

:welcome2: btw....

hi and thanks for your reply, your right about the warning on the dash it says select neutral but i have no problems driving, i posted this in another part of the site and someone suggested disconnecting the battery for a while if the BCU is playing up?

Check the Hi/Lo range motor connector and earths and also sniff around the transfer box ECU under the passenger seat for burning smells.

thanks man will get that done tomo and post up how i get on, thanks
