going to the camp yesterday 4-wd and positive traction switch quit working. Stopped to check fuses and when pulled diode out of the fuse block the 4-wd started working. the positive traction never started working. I will order a diode today but has anyone had this problem. can anyone give any help or info on this problem.

Hey whipandee, welcome to the site.I am assuming you are talking about the diff lock when you say positive traction switch?If so the diff lock will not do any good unless the front diff is engaged and pulling.
Did you check the diode with a meter?
If i had to guess i would say you have a bad or dirty 4x4 switch.

I understand that the diff lock will only work when the front diff is engaged but the 2x4/4x4 switch will not work with the diod in place but it will work with the diod not in place. That is what I do not understand. I plan to check the diod and the 4x4 switch tomorrow
