Finaly I got time for my Patriot. But can not find the reason why this 4WD! Light are lit.. I put my summer wheels on to get rid of the TMPS fault so the only fault I have is this yellow 4WD! Light. I have looked over the wires again, all the way from kick panel to the rear seat and all wires are fine :-( when I start the car it takes about 5sec and the light gets on even if I dont move the car. I have ordered a new scanner that hopefully can read this 4WD fault, the scanner I have now reads only engine codes. So, really looking for more tips in this case :)

Got my new scanner and yes it gives me more information about this fault, the fault is: "Fdcm - final drive control / all wheel drive. C1 45D/active AWD clutch power / return control circuit open" I really hope it is a broken wire and not the eClutch ? is this a commen problem on Patriot?

Yes! solved ? the yellow and black wire from the 4WD module to the eClutch was broken two places over the rear axle, not easy to find but really lucky when I found it. Got the wires togheter and no more yellow 4WD! Light ? se picture ?
