Push it back in, it flashes when you have pulled the knob out before it engages, to warn you that you have requested engagement. Engagement can take a little time for the cogs to align, unless you are stuck and wheel spinning when it should engage straight away.

The light should go solid green when engaged.

The warning flash is because front diff lock prevents proper steering.

If the knob is pushed in, then you should be ok, you must have a wiring problem behind the panel.

electrical wiring issue/fault or a leaky switch on the front circuit, but you should investigate it to be sure what's going on
