Before pulling the cluster panel off check the bulb by pushing in the trip meter with the ignition switch off then turn on the ignition and let go of the trip meter all lights should light up if the 4 wheel light does not then the bulb is burned out if it lights up then you probably have a faulty sensor in the transfer case. Easy fix just remove the sensor and replace.

heater treater doors are replacement doors/flaps in the dash that direct air to feet/defrost/vents. they are made of metal and alot stronger and dont break like the stock ones do

In my 06 it is located on top of the transfer case on the drivers side easy to get to. Several wires going into it that unplug which have a little catch you have to release. Check the continuity with a meter after you unplug the wires. I got my sensor at a local dealer can't remember the cost but not too much but parts are always more from a dealer.
