The first thing I would look at is the shift rod on the transfer case. If I remember correctly, it is on the drivers side and is a rod aboutsix inches long and has two ends that basically pop into rubber gromets. If that rod is bent in any way, or has come loose of the gromets, it will not shift into or out of the four wheel drive. If yours has electronic four wheel drive, the electric acutator could be out or going out. you should be able to remove the rod and simply move the switch by hand on the transfer case. It will get you out of 4 wheel drive until you have the ime to diagnose the electronics at least. It has happened to both my 1994 and 1999 S-10 blazers.

DO THIS FIRST !!!!!
I went through 2 days of troubleshooting why my 2001 Blazer was stuck in in 4L (push button). I was about to push it off a cliff when I had realized that the only thing I DIDN'Tcheck was the buttons themselves. Turns out that they are made not much different from a computer keyboard. Pop out the 4W button panel from the dash and hold it face down in your hand. With a small screwdriver, pop out the back from the front. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE FACE DOWN IN YOUR HAND or else you'll have buttons all over to pick up. Now, once you have the back seperated get a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and clean the back of the buttons, which are metal contacts. Then, clean the WHOLE board where the contacts make contact with the q-tip and alcohol . Even if this assembly does not look dirty to the eye, it will malfunction with the slightest of oxidation or moisture deposits on the board or the contacts. Also, I may add; throughout my troubleshoting adventure, I also was able to get the tranny to shift smoother by cleaning the tranny's computer connector. My computer was located at front pass right side floor panel. It was obviously exposed to a lot of moisture somehow. The power pins were especially bad. I hope this helps.

    on the driver side of the transfer case on top with a line running into it with 3 holes and one tiny hole. a 7/8 wrench will take it out i believe? its kinda hard to see but if you look closely with enough lighting you will find it just look for the line going into the top of the transfer case

2000 chevy blazer passenger front wheel noise

driving in 4wd on hard surfaces produces what is known as torque wind up as the wheels cannot slip so the variations of distance going around corners , dips in the road etc place considerable strain on the transmission , transfer case , drive lines and diffs
that is why it is difficult to get out of 4wd unless you drive with 2 wheels on a grass verge to relieve that torque wind up
as for the noise check wheel bearings and the cv ("U") joint at that wheel as there appears a proble where the dog teeth in the hub are not engaging properly or are jumping out of engagement

I have a 1996 chevy blazer and dont know how to disengage from four wheel drive to two wheel drive?

As I recall the 96 blazer had electronic shifting for 2wd to 4wd. There should be a small panel on the drivers dash buttons for 2wd, 4wd lo and 4wd hi.

Simply press the desired button while stationary and if the system is functioning properly then it will shift and the light for the engaged type of drive will be lighted. Generally you would like to be in 2wd for this vehicle.

When push button for 4 wheel drive the front end want ingage and the button just keeps flashing

Have you tried putting it in Neutral, then selecting 4-low. That's what we have to do on our 2000 Chevy Blazer. Same with going from 4-low to 4-high or 4-low to 2 high. It will shift from 2-high to 4 high on the fly (not in Neutral) and back.

1993 4X4 BLASER 4WHEEL DRIVE

Your blazer is equipped with a shift on the fly four wheel drive. That means that at speeds less than fifteen miles per hour you can shift into or out of four wheel drive by simply pushing the four wheel high button. If you wish to shift into four wheel low. Stop, put the transmission into park or neutral, and push the four wheel low button. Same procedure for shifting back out. Never shift into or out of four wheel low while moving. And be careful in four wheel low. At full throttle your still barely moving, you don't want to blow your engine up!

Having trubble ingageing the 4wd chevy s10 1988

It should shift into 4 high in any gear. 4 low you have to be in neutral. If the button doesnt push in, it could very well be the button.
