Converting Hubs on a push button 2005

But can you think of any way it could have worked without the BB being in there?

Cus something very strange is going on!

The ball probably was there but the issue could have been a bad wire.

Yes I am beginning to think that is the only logical explanation. I am guessing given it was oily that it must have dropped out after I left to go fix the switch and is now lurking somewhere on the drive!

I have found some replacement ones on ebay (suzuki part number is 06111-10003 if anybody else has the same issue) and will stick one in and see what happens. I was really pleased to have fixed the switch with a bit of solder and some UV activated resin, but its all gone a bit flat now it does not owrk.

The ball baring is vital to the switch operating, if its not there then flashing lights etc.
The switch is a simple on off switch which you can test with a meter when off .
Best bet is to get one from a dealer.

hey god,68, please could you PM me a pick of the connector wires you said were
broken and the button under neath the car you said you press please.
ive had my 4x4 flashing for days and it wont go back to 2wd. i,m stuck with this problem too. i have manual hubs on thou. cheers , liam.

Hi,
If you look at the picture that Bryn sent it is part number 30.

I am afraid I am working away from home so can't nip out and take the pic you want.

But it is easy to see under the car, it is the front most switch on the transfer box, it has two pink wires coming out of it and has a blue plastic ring around a black cap. One of my pink wires was broken. I had to dismantle the switch by carefully cutting the blue and black bits off. I was then able to solder wires back onto the exposed stubs and seal the whole thing back up with UV activated resin. Off the car I was able to test the switch with a meter and it works. But on the car nothing has changed.

I am suspicious that in taking out the switch the little ball bearing has fallen out and so now when the 4wd button is pressed nothing happens.

I plan when back from holiday to get back under the car with a meter and test that when 4wd is selected that the button does in fact close, if it does not then it will I hope confirm that the BB is missing and I will drain down the box again, fit a new BB and see if that chamnges anything.

To be clear there is no switch you can press under the car without removing it from the transfer box first (and oil will come out when you undo the switch!).

Hope that makes sense.
