My 1997 GMC Sierra lights for 4hi and 4lo blink when i push the 4hi button and then goes back into 2hi. but when i push 4lo it locks in and works fine. I tried changing the 4wd motor on the transfer c

THE TRANSFER CASE MOTOR IS ONLY FOR 4WD LOW. That would have never been the problem as soon as you confirmed it shifted into 4wd Low. 2wd and 4 Hi work off of vacuum. You may have one or two issues. A vacuum leak up by the front axle that engages the 4wd HI or the sensors on the transfer case.

My 99 silverado 4x4 is stuck in 4LO. When I push 2wd, 4wd auto or 4HI it cycles through and returns to 4LO. I have replaced the shift module behind the dash, switch on the dash, transfer case shift motor...

You have to put the truck in neutral first then switch the 4hi and don't use the auto select. If it still won't switch you may have damaged the servo and need to replace it. Or worse damaged the transfer case. So try in neutral first and hope that works.

4wd issues!!! When I start the truck, all 3 lights( 2hi 4hi and 4lo) flash once on the switch then go off ( all of them). It drives just fine but is in 2wd. When I push any of the buttons the 4hi and 4lo...

THE 4WD SWITCH IS A PROBLEM. ALSO THE GROUND CONNECTOR ON THE FRAME CLOSE TO THE DRIVERS DOOR IS A PROBLEM. IT USUALLY HAS A COATING OF THE UNDERCOAT MATERIAL ON THE FRAME THAT IS NOT REMOVED BEFORE THE CONNECTORS ARE PUT IN PLACE.

THERE ARE 2 BOLTS THERE THE OTHER IS AN ABS GROUND CLEAN OFF THE UNDERCOATING FIRST, PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE CONNECTION POINTS, THEN COVER THEM IN SPRAY ON UNDERCOATING. THIS IS A CHEAP FIX TRY IT FIRST.

RATE ME PLEASE.

Chevrolet truck 4wd switch blinks

If they are blinking I believe it means that there are fault codes present in the pcm. You need to get the computer scaned to see if there are an codes present. If you live near an Autozone or Checker autoparts they can scan it for free.

My 98 chevy blazer won't shift into 4wd.

Most common problem is the vacuum diaphragm that is so inconviently mounted UNDER the battery tray.The cable that locks in the front diff is attached to it and vacuum pulls it in/out.
