THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AFTER TURNING THE KEY OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO LOCK INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE. I STUCK MY KEY BACK IN AND TURNED IT TO JUST BEFORE STARTING ENGINE TO SEE IF ANY DASH LIGHTS COME IN AND THE SVC LIGHT FLASHED ONCE. WHEN I'VE TURNED THE IGNITION ON BUT LET IT IN PARK I HEAR THE SAME CLICKING SOUND. I'VE TURNED THE KNOB THAT CHANGES MODE FROM 4LO, 4X4, AND AWD BUT THIS CHANGED NOTHING. I WAS TOLD THE SOUND COMES FROM THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR BUT NONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SEVERAL OF THE ON-LINE FORUMS ARE FULL OF THESE SAME TYPE OF ISSUES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MINE; AND EVEN WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP ACT OF IGNORANCE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED.
