Abstract
A 2WD-4WD changeover control device for changing the driving system of a vehicle between a two wheel drive mode and a four wheel drive mode includes a housing and a switch for turning on and off an indicator which indicates whether the transfer is in a two wheel drive mode or a four wheel drive mode. The switch is constructed of electrodes and a conductive spring member which establishes and interrupts an electrical connection between the electrodes. The electrodes are fixed on the inner side of a wall of a housing portion that is formed of an electrically insulating material.
