Contactor, Suzuki Santana Samurai 4WD

A 4WD contactor, or neutral switch, is an electrical piece, assembled on the vehicle’s tranfer case.

This piece is responsible for the « switched to 4WD » indicator on your Suzuki or Santana Samurai’s dashboard.

You can notice a contactor malfunction :

• if the indicator is not on while you’re on the 4WD position.
• or if the indicator is on when you’re on the 2WD position.

A contactor malfunction can also be linked to an impermeability problem of the transfer case.
