When I put my vehicle into 4 wheel drive, the 4X4 light comes on but flashes instead of staying lit. I dont remember it doing that before. What would cause this.

    This is likely indicating a fault in the 4WD system, it will need to be checked to see what caused the fault to occur. There's probably a computer that monitors the system, and when it detects a fault it stores some diagnostic info and makes the light flash to warn you of a problem. You'll need to start by getting this diagnostic info from the vehicle.
