My 2005 hummer h2 will not shift into 4wd high or low the 4wd button for everyday driving is lit up but when I try and go to 4wd high or low or lock it just flashes the light and nothing happens

When the 4WD lights flash on and off, this indicates that there are 4WD-related trouble codes in the 4WD control module. Sometimes 4WD lights never illuminate.
The first step in diagnosing the system is to establish communication and retrieve trouble codes from the control module. After retrieving the codes, write them down, clear the codes and retest to see which codes are regenerated. False codes can be set if a component is disconnected when the key is turned on.
If the 4WD lights flash on and off, and no codes are found in the 4WD control module, try clearing the codes anyway. After a certain amount of key cycles, the codes will normally clear from the 4WD control module, but the module will not respond to commands until it is re-initialized by clearing the codes or disconnecting the battery to erase its memory.
If your scan tool will not communicate with the 4WD module, first verify that the scan tool has the proper software and the latest updates. If it does, then try another scan tool. If it still has no communication, the power and grounds that are supplied to the module will need to be tested. See if the scan tool will communicate with the other modules on the shared communication network. If they're OK, check the harness from the data link connector (DLC) for an open circuit to the 4WD module.

Jeep grd cherokee laredo 4.0 6L. 4WD The ABS don't work

I would say someone has disconnected it rather than fix it.
You might find a missing fuse or relay that powers the ABS module, or the module may be unplugged. It could have been removed too.

Service 4 wheel light comes on, put it in four wheel works fine, what usually needs to be serviced on it so i can do it myself so i dont have to pay the outrages fee's at the dealership

There is a common problem with false "service 4WD" messages. The PCM or FDCM (final drive control module) may need to be updated. Also make sure that when you switch into 4WD, it is ACTUALLY IN 4WD. If everything appears to be working correctly, but there is still a message, there is one thing you can try:
You can check the transfer case actuator connector. It is the only electrical connector on the transfer case and is located underneath the center of the vehicle towards the driver side. Disconnect it (Carefully! The connector here has a tendency to seize into place. You don't want to break it or the tabs.) and check the wiring for dirt and debris around the connector. Also check for corrosion (green or white crusty stuff) on the metal connector terminals.
One other problem I have encountered was the axle shift solenoid in the front differential. The wires were broken inside the differential assembly. However, in this case the 4WD system was not functioning properly.

So, your question being what usually needs to be serviced, the answer is one or more control modules probably need to be flashed (updated). This obviously requires you to go to a dealership. However, you can visually check your transfer case connector to see if there are any potential wiring issues involved. Again, BE CAREFUL when disconnecting and reconnecting this component.

Hope this helps!

Reversed jumper cables on 1999 jeep Cherokee sport. Battery seems to be ok, but no gauges and no start. Will crank, and electric fan comes on with key in on position.

The main control module is the most sensitive, but you should go through the motions of checking if there is spark, if there is fuel pressure, etc. The control module is expensive. But you can try a salvage yard one.

Push button 4wd not working

It sounds like someone has changed into 4wd at speed and broken the internals of the system. Check the relays and fuses first but it sounds more serious than that. If it drives in 2wd put it in reverse an circle listen for any undue noises.
