D40 4WD engage issues please point me in right direction

[D40NAVY]

Hey guys.

I've had endless troubles with my 4WD light error coming on mid action when I'm out in the bush and beach leaving me in some difficult places. I'm pretty sure it's the wiring harness as I've replaced sensors countless number of times, ABS aswell. Is there anyway I can get a new harness or do something to fix it?
- can you engage or disengage 4WD manually?

-can you replace the whole setup back to old school fair bit of work I know.

Hope someone can help

It's a 2005 Spanish model, its fare old though

I have 2010 navara 4l 46 4x4. Went in for service today and replaced inner boot left front wheel. Had to loosen the hub to replace. Now my ABS light stays on and nothing is working in 4x4 mode. 4H blinks but never becomes solled and then the yellow 4x4 light flashes. Wont engage 4H or 4L and the diflock light olso dead now. Is it maybe because of the ABS light( some safety issue maybe and because of that not engaging) Plz help. Not a sensor issue both my sensors was replaced on the previous service and working perfectly.(both on transfer case)

Functioning ABS is required for 4WD operation. There are two basic ways to fix the problem.

1) Repair the ABS so that the car functions normally again. You might then add some ABS cable protection if you do lots of off-roading where branches can snag the cables.

2) Ignore the in-dash switch, cut through the servo wires and use a momentary-on DPDT centre-off switch instead. Raptorthumper did some excellent posts on this here.
