Default 1999 sportsman 500

Can anyone tell me why my 500 is jumping in and out of 4wd. It just does it randomly while driving.

If it's both wheels could be as simple as a ground problem.You can try a better common ground as this guy did for the awd ground wires.
If that doesn't help you can jump the brown/white wire at the speedo connector to the brown wire,bypassing the speedo and see if that solves it.Either way the awd indicator should light up.
