Looking at getting my first TJ: 2003 Sahara

Welp, unfortunately the timing didnt work out as I was called out to work.....So the jeep search will have to continue at a later date...bummer
 
But you said you could feel it go into 4 WD. It could be as simple as a bad bulb or loose wire. I wouldn't let that stop me from buying it at that price.

My 4WD light burnt out a long time ago. Cheap and easy to replace with LED's. I agree I wouldn't let something that small stop me from buying it.
