Liberty 4WD V6-3.7L (2009)
Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
4WD Low Indicator - Description
4 LOW INDICATOR
A 4 low indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system, this
indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located above the engine coolant temperature gauge on the cluster overlay, to the right of the
tachometer.
The 4 low indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4 LOW in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind
by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The 4 low indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
4WD Full-Time Indicator - Description
4WD INDICATOR - FULL-TIME
A 4WD full-time indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional four-wheel drive
system, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The 4WD full-time indicator consists of the text 4WD in the VFD display. The odometer VFD unit is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster
overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The 4WD full-time indicator text appears in the
same blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the odometer VFD unit is illuminated at full brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are
ON), the VFD lighting level is adjusted with the other cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting control
sleeve on the left multi-function switch control stalk. However, a PARADE mode position of the control sleeve allows the VFD unit to be illuminated at
full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The 4WD full-time indicator is serviced as a unit with the odometer VFD unit in the instrument cluster.
4WD Part-Time Indicator - Description
4WD INDICATOR - PART TIME
A 4WD part-time indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional four-wheel drive
system, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located above the engine coolant temperature gauge on the cluster overlay, to the right
of the tachometer.
The 4WD part-time indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer
of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind
by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The 4WD part-time indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
