I have a 2006 ranger 500 4x4. I found out yesterday that when I turn my lights on it goes into 4 wheel drive. So I started probing wires. With all the switches turned off, and the key to the on position, I have a hot wire back to the taillights and I can hear the rear end solenoid click in whenever I turn the key off and on, is this the way it is suppose to be. If it is, what is the solenoid in the rearend doing. thanks

 

Rear differential lock. Should have that switch on the dash if I remember correctly.
