700 dollars to replace. A high price to pay to turn off a blinking light.
Black tape could also "solve" the problem.

Has anyone out there experienced this problem, and if so, what coarse of
action did you take, if any?

I bought an '04 DC that did this on the 3rd day I owned it. It turned out to be the actuator. I am not familiar with how the actuator is involved in engaging the 4wd but I do know that it requires some work to get to it to replace it. I believe it requires dropping the transfer case. I would at the least inquire to a service manager that you have found it to be an issue with other Tundras.
