Default 4wd 6-light blink in dash

Got a quick question for the forum members...

Ok so my buddy Austy, did his manual swap, we had the computer issues I had. Then I showed him the wiring to wire up the case so that it works even with an auto computer and manual tranny.

The wires I used can be found in my thread I made on RF about my manual swap.

Anyways, this weekend he put it into 4wd while up in the mountains and said that his dash lights blinked the 4wd and 4wd lo lights simultaneously 6 times in a row. And won't let him put it in 4wd... He's been using 4wd for a long time without problems and has randomly come across this problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had that happen to me on a project truck and I thought it was the shift motor so I changed it since I had one...still flashed the lights. I pulled the radio bezel and unplugged the switch, plugged it back in and it started working...?

Yeah, I read somewhere with google, that it could be the GEM going out. But I'm not sure. I'll have him unplug it and plug it back in.. Maybe his 4wd switch is bad.
