Flickering Transfer Case button lights - warranty repair???

[conesmacker]

Hi all,

2020 Bighorn owner here. Hemi Etorque. Bought in late March 2020, and under 9k miles.

The ultra chilly mornings has brought the only defect I've seen in my truck yet....the transfer case lights do not like temps under 32f or so..... Watch the attached video (which I hope works), which shows what they were doing during an 18f start in the dark last week. The button illumincation AND the position indicator lights are very dim and flickering.

It has done this 3 or 4 times so far. After some cabin heat arrives, the lights stop flickering.

Is this a claimable warranty repair to resolve this issue?

I'd say thats definitely warranty worthy.

Yes, warranty for sure IMO.

Yes, it should not do that. I’ve been driving my 21 in -10 temps and mi e hasn’t done that and it shouldn’t! I had a 19 for one winter before that, drove it all winter and never did that. Warranty for sure!

The dealer agreed this is a warrantable repair, so now the wait starts for the parts to be delivered...

Of course they agreed...you have a 2020 with 9K miles on it Did you anticipate anything different?

Mine has been doing the same thing, 2020 with 5500 miles on it. I will be calling my dealer this week.

to the OP, do you know if the dealer determined that is just a bad switch assembly or deeper than that?
