4X4 2001 Tahoe keeps burning the Fuse when Control Module is Activated
There is a dead short inside the module-try a junkyard for another to see if it works-parts stores won't return one thats been installed- cheers Denny

The 1995 and up Jimmy’s and Blazer’s use thesame system for engaging the front diff. They are all made to “shift on the fly” while driving down the road withnothing to do but press the button on the dash. (Do NOT shift into 4 Low while driving at higher speeds at it can dodamage). If the dash light flashes andyou hear a clicking sound that means you have power to the relay. If the vehicle 4 High lights stops flashingand it goes back into 2 High then the problem is likely that you have no vacuumto the 4 X 4 actuator module which is located below the battery tray. Remove the battery and tray; look for a holeburnt in the vacuum line or actuator module rubber diaphragm. When the activator get vacuum it pulls acable that attaches to the front diff engaging it, when engaged the wires onthe front diff send a signal to the 4 X 4 light on the dash telling you it is engaged). If the battery has ever leaked the acid runsdown onto the actuator causing the problem. If no holes found in the hose or actuator diaphragm I would use batterycables and hook up the battery and start vehicle then check for vacuum byputting my finger on the end of the actuator hose. If there is vacuum then problem in actuatoror cable linkage. If no vacuum I wouldthen trace back the vacuum lines to find where it is off or leaking, NOTE: As the heater control operates on vacuum and some other vehicle systemsdo as well bear this in mind, has your vehicle had heater control problems orbeen running rough, this could explain a lot of potential problems. Attached to the hood on the left side(drivers side) on 1997 and older models is a vacuum (a “ball”) canister, newermodels the canister is located in the left fender by the brake module, makesure the vacuum line is attached there. Please rate this suggestion as I never know if it is worth my timefilling these things out…

Go buy the chevrolet shop manual for the truck. Its worth every penny in the long run and will save you thousands by not going to the dealer for everything, because they consult the shop manual. make sure your tranny doesnt share fluid with your transfer case, you could over fill or underfill it easily.

check all wire conections also replace the actuator on the front axle but check for power there first if you have power replace that switch as well .
