I had a similar. Problem with 2000 GMC Sierra. I had it scan,but no problem was detected. It turn out to be the selector switch for the 4x4 on the dashboard. I was informed by a friend at the dealership of the bulletin for this problem. But the dealership would not cover the problem since no recall has been issued yet. I did get the dealership to sell me the switch at cost, $43.00. Hope this helps.

I have a 1997 f150 4.6 auto, with a 2w,4w and 4L selector switch on the dash. It seems as though it may not be functioning properly and I was wondering if there are some common things to check for. I

The clicking you her is the switch sending the signal to the motor on the transfer case that you are locking in 4x4, I would just be sure I was at a complete stop and in park or nuetral when you lock it in, I know it says shift on the fly 4 wheel drive but it is easier on it mechanically if you are at a stop.

4 wheel drive lights flashes but then returns to 2wheel drive -- some time it will lock in 4w low but both 4w hi and 4w low lights are on --- have new tccm module.

It is the shift motor for the 4wheel drive - only problem is that a shop has to program the new shift motor to the blazer or it will keep doing the same thing

My 2500hd s 4 wheel drive service warning is

The  actuator on the front diff or transfer case is stuck or bad. This will send a signal back and turn on the service light. In 2003 I believe the actuator is on the front differential.

Shifting into 4 wheel drive

For 4W Hi either be stopped or moving at a slow rate of speed (<20 MPH) and move your 4WD selector to the 4 Wheel Hi position.

For 4W Lo stop and move the selector from 2W Hi to 4W Hi then push down on the selector and move through N into 4W Lo.
