I have a 1990 XJ with a A4W transmission and a Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD transfer case. I was preparing to tow the XJ for the first time and when I tried to put the transfer case in neutral the indicator lights never indicated “Neutral”. One of the lights always indicated I was in 4X4. I was pretty sure I was in neutral because I could put the transmission in drive or reverse and the vehicle wouldn’t move. Is there a transfer case “Neutral” indicator light or any other way to insure the transfer case is in neutral?
When I was pretty sure the transfer case was in neutral I placed the transmission in Park and when I did so I heard a sound almost like the transmission was trying to go into gear or the Park pin was trying to engage. The only time I heard this sound was when putting the transmission in Park. The XJ followed the tow vehicle with no problem, but I am worried about the noise. Any ideas what it could be or how to stop it?
