Hi all,
I have a 2014 Spain built D40 2.5 ST manual that refuses to engage 4wd (does so intermittently), and none of the fixes noted for other navaras online and in the forums seem to work. When I do the self diagnoses on the DF as per the service manual, the 4WD light flashes 13 times indicating an issue with the 2 x shut off relays or in the transfer control device circuit. This is the list of dead end items that I have checked that are not the culprit:
My mechanic has had a look as well and cannot find anything - says its an anomaly. Can anyone point me in the right direction to check before i send it to an auto sparky that will charge me $100's without any guarantee of even fixing it.
It is doing my head in and I really want to repair this properly to start using it as it should be offroad! Thank you!

This is the list of dead end items that I have checked that are not the culprit:
- Checked all fuses under bonnet and cab
- Checked all relays under bonnet for TF case - checked OK
- Replaced all 3 switches on TF case and checked for moisture (no moisture)
- Replaced 2 x shut off relays under bonnet
- Replaced 4wd selector switch with a switch from another D40 with working 4wd - fault still appears
- Checked abs sensors and hubs - no damage to sensors or bearings (no light on dash either)
- I asked my mechanic while the car is in to replace the transfer control device (located in the cab) and replace the servo on the back of the transfer case with the parts from another D40 to check if they work. They never got a chance to do this so is there a way to test them without buying the parts?
