I need the transfer case dash switch for a 1996 chevy c/k1500. Carquest site says part number 19168766. Everywhere else I've looked says this part is for years 97 and later. It looks the same in the picture. How do I know before I buy it that I am getting the right part. The front of the plastic switch is broke and the switch started to have intermitent problems when it did. My question is, where can I find the right part?

If it has the push button 4wd selector on the dash, it is most likely the transfer case encoder motor. Not to bad to replace but you will have to remove the front driveshaft.

check the solenoid on the front differential. i had a similar problem. when i would start to engage 4wd low/high and it would blow the fuse. i replaced the front solenoid and fixed my problem.

the solenoid can be found in the right side of the front differential. costs about $100 at local part store and takes 5-10 to changeout with an adjustable wrench.

Sounds like the chain in the transfer case has broke or the linkage is out of adjustment

Sounds like you got it. They are heavy and ocward (spelling?). As for the front drive shaft take the bolts out and give it a couple of wacks with a dead blow hammer then slide it out. Maybe a few days before hand give it a good spray down with wd40 or like product. Also when you get to the last bolt for the t-case to trans loosen it half way then put a drain bucket under it and seperate it a little and let the trans fluid drain some, or you will be wearing it.
