Question Flashing E-disconnect light.

I got stuck bad yesterday in some gravel and clay in my creek. It was only the two right side wheels. The left ones were still on firm ground. We tried to pull it out with an older Dodge Ram, but it wouldn't budge. My Buddy came over with hid 2004 TJ Rubicon with more mods than I'll ever do and he wouldn't even try to pull me out. I finally ended up called a guy I know who has a wrecker service. He came out with his big diesel flatbed and a 4X4 Ford PU. The PU managed to pull me out after throwing a lot of mud mud on the poor wrecker driver. Still, he only charged me $70. It was clay, not mud, and both wheels were packed solid. I sprayed it off with a hose, but it hardly phased it. I had to pull the clay out with my hands before any of it would wash off. Anyway, I took it for a test drive to see if there was any damage, but the only thing I noticed was the sway bar lamp keeps on flashing. It seemed to handle OK, but it won't go foo no matter how many times I push the button. What do you guys think?

That would make me happy knowing my stock Sahara wouldnt have done any worse.. stuck is stuck


In all seriousness... I wish I had the ability to have this problem.

Yeah, I regret not getting pics, but I forgot the camera and it was 1/4 of a mile from the house. By the time I got back to the house, it was dark. I took some today of where it happened.

I was actually wondering about the flashing sway-bar lamp.

Well, I'll try once more. How can I tell if the sway bar is connected or not? I drove it on the street and got it over 20 MPH and it seemed stable.

There's nothing packed around it. That is, if I found the right place or not. There's a cable coming from the passenger side that goes to a connector on the inboard side of the unit. It's mostly covered up by the plastic skid pan, so it's hard to access it. Is that it?
