I have a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder SE sports utility. Every time I try to use my four wheel drive the indicator light flashes . It use to work now and then but not anymore I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to troubleshoot ? I had it repaired before and from what I could remember they were saying it was an electric motor not working but several months later it stopped working again been several months since I tried to do something about it. Trying to fix everything wrong with it. ---

register in [nissanhelp.com](http://nissanhelp.com) site, post your question there they also have a section with downloads, I was able to get a complete set of dealer repair manuals from there the download is limited to something like 5 files per day, you will need the one for “TF/Transfer”, still it’s a good idea to download all 40+ ---

I tried everything on the owners manual ---

Josh, it will not be covered in **owner’s** manual, you have to go for dealer’s **repair** manual. Here is what you are supposed to find: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/1/e/1e115832c1e9f11f7f2d5a079984cdad4e901212.png) If this is above your head, look for a different / more professional repair shop.
