I have already had the switch replaced and it didn't resolve the issue, and the error code has went gradually from being intermittent to quite frequent (nearly all the time).
If the purpose of this switch is only informational in regards to the VIC, and it provides no real control of the 4WD system, I imagine it's possible to just short two pins together either at the switch connector itself or VIC end of the connections. This would fool the computer into "thinking" it's in all time 4-wheel high status?
If I am correct, based upon Rocker's statement, this would not have a negative impact on the 4-wheel drive system as a whole?
Finding a way to clip the "annoying" beeper would be a reasonable way to make the issue manageable but would hinder value from a salability perspective.
Any input on this would be appreciated!
