Pulling code's from the 4X4 control module would point to a diagnostic procedure . Do you own a professional type scan tool that can read DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's in the 4X4 control module ? Autozone , advance etc.... can not read these code's .
Which transfercase does it have ?
Transfer Case - BW 4482-NR4
Transfer Case - NVG 246-NP8

How many buttons for 4X4 three or four ?
The BW 4482 transfer case features a 3-button shift control switch located on the instrument panel
The NVG 246 EAU transfer case features a 4 button shift control switch located on the instrument panel
When the ignition key is in the RUN position, the transfer case shift control module monitors the transfer case shift control switch to determine if the driver desires a new mode/range position. At a single press of the transfer case shift control switch, the lamp of the new desired position will begin flashing to inform the driver that the transfer case shift control module has received the request for a new mode/range position. The lamp will continue to flash until all shifting criteria has been met and the new mode/range position has been reached, or has been engaged. Once the new mode/range position is fully active, the switch indicator lamp for the new position will remain ON constantly.The 4X4 system with four button shift control can set a number of DTC'S
DTC B0790
DTC B2725
DTC C0300
DTC C0305
DTC C0306
DTC C0321
DTC C0327
DTC C0359
DTC C0374
DTC C0379
DTC C0550
The three button switch can also set an store a few codes
DTC B0790
DTC B2725
DTC C0306
DTC C0327
DTC C0329
DTC C0359
DTC C0550
Without knowing if any of these DTC'S are stored can't suggest any type of repair .

SOURCE: 94 s10 Tahoe Blazer stuck in 4lo & indicator lights broken

one it requires 15 measures of vacuum to actuate anything
two switch is on the transfer case two vacuum ports =2 lines one to and one from check those
three it goes to a unit on the inside of the fender vacuum actuated too which actuates a cable in the front axle ---if it is NOT a VAcUUM problem then the switch on the tranfer case is probably had it
the third port on that switch is a breather port ---should only have 2 vacuum lines
and that SWITCH IS POSITION SENSITIVE as in mark the allignment of the ports --it has to reallign exactly the same way when replaced ---
futhermore : yes the indicator lights come on when it is working properly however
if your in 2 high and the front indicator comes on --well the front axle is actually locked in
that's another common problem ---mine did both at some point --I payed nothing for the truck
otherwise I won't touch GM ---if you ever find a bad trans leak and it's not the pan gasket --then more than likely it's the mate between the trans itself and the bolt up transfer case --np207?
that will run you at least a c-note ---a good trans man can fix your problem ---either mentioned for
usually a c note up to 2 max

But since it's a GM --Learn to fix it yourself ---ASK in HERE or consider selling it off and go foreign
mine is a 84 carberated --but little to nothing changed in the 4x4
mine did albeit the exact same thing one time --wasn't the vacuum --it was the switch on the transfer
case and a frozen shift cable --went ahead and adjusted the linkage and PB blastered it ALL
then the front axle did what I described --
I did it myself --very little problem 5-6max on a 10 wrench scale
Hope this helps if so --POST A Reply I'd appreciate it --the advice was free

How to put into 4x4 hi ?

If its a 4WD there is either a push button on the dash left side of steering colomn, its marked 4hi. If manual shifter in on floor center console. Pull back on lever to second notch marker 4hi. If you are in 4lo now and can't get out. first put tranny shifter in neutral while engine running, then shift transfer case into neutral (manual push forward), push button hold 4hi and 4lo at the same time til "N" green light comes on. Then shift either into 4hi.

Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop . Service 4X4 light's blinking . DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's stored in the 4X4 control module.

Electronic tranfer case switches are not working, what could be the problem? The vehicle is in 2 wheel hi now and when I push the 4 hi button nothing happens...when I start the vehicle, all three switches...

check the trasfercase shift control module and wiring
it's located on the passenger side
remove the carpet thresh hold
remove the kick pannel they are held on by clips
the module is behind the kick pannel
disconnect the module harness and see if it is corroded if so you need to replace the connector and the module
let me know if thats not it but i have done lots

4HI and 4LO light flashing 2000 Blazer LT

it is very possible that a wheel speed sensor is open or reading erratic, causing the ECM to override the 4WD switch. Borrow/rent/buy a scanner that will tell you this info,

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.

4wd stuck in 4Lo

it is either the control switch or the actuator. look if light is flashing on push button switch. if so it is stuck. you can check actuator on front axle, to watch and see if it is moving.
