4wd Light Flickers When Its Raining

Truck is not even four wheel drive. I figure there is a short somewhere when it gets wet.

Anyone have any idea where it might be. Im not real worried about it, just dont want it to cause any other electrical problems.

Most likely water is shorting across the switch connector on the pass side axle.
Pull the connector apart and glop it up with dielectric grease then put it back together.

If memory serves there is a plug at the bottom right of the radiator that the jumper harness for the 4wd light switch hooks to that I believe is there on 2wd trucks as well and should be capped off, it's probably getting water in it and shorting across maybe the thing to do is check for that connector and if it's there reseal it.
