Passenger floor wet
#12
Interesting that this thread was brought back today. I have ignored the wet passenger carpet which was probably a mistake because my 4WD no longer engages. I tested it a couple of days ago, and heard an awful grinding sound in the front end. Now I get both 4hi and 4 lo lights flashing when pressing either button while in neutral and nothing when trying to engage 4hi while in drive.
Just this morning I brought it in for someone to look at. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worse.

The grinding sound is most likely due to either an actuator/cable/vacuum line problem or a problem with the vacuum switch on the transfer case (if you have the NV233 - 3-button switch on the dash).
The flashing light issue could be a corroded TCCM connection or a bad ground under the dash. Always pays to start there on these. It could be a cheap easy fix.

Whoops, wasn't sure about how to go about posting as I am new to the forum world. But I now understanding that "birthing" a new post is much more effective than the resurrection of an old one
Thank you for your guys' advice and I checked into your suggestions.
Still however, it remains a mystery it seems.
It is really bizarre... I ran a hose over the hood, windshield, doors etc and I couldn't get it to leak?? I am positive (but now wondering if I'm loosing it) that the doors were fully shut and windows closed when the rain hit...
But I am still having problems with the headlights not coming on and not sure if water damage has hurt a ground etc. Luckily they do come on when I hit the dash, which leads me to think that it is a loose connection/bad ground of sorts? I have heard electrical problems can be a nightmare to diagnose, should I even attempt, or just cut the losses and take her in?
As for the leak issue...It is supposed to rain here again tonight, so I made damn sure everything was shut up tight and now I play the waiting game to see if I have any surprises tomorrow.
Thanks again for your input!
