IF the light is on and flashing, there's a trouble code stored in the computer. Get the code read. Do NOT buy this vehicle until you know exactly what's going on.

SOURCE: 1995 gmc jimmy 4wd high not working

sounds like it is loosing vacuum check all the lines for a crack even the engine lines will cause it to loose vacc. pressure. if it is not run to the vacuum reserve canister you may not have enough vacc. to hold the actuator in several times I just run new lines and that helped and not very costly.

could be your front actuator or your actuator motor on the transfer case.

I just bought a 95 gmc jimmy 4.3 vortec with 4wd and underneather on the frontend differential there is a bar sticking out that is welded to stay out and my jimmy will not go into 4wd at all why and how do...

I don't know what the bar is for, but I can help you troubleshoot the 4wd. I have a 1996 4wd Jimmy. The 4wd didn't work when I bought it. Here is what I found. The vacuum lines at the rear of the engine compartment were soft and gummy and some were rotted. I replaced every vacuum line I could find. Hidden underneath the battery tray is a vacuum operated actuator that engages the front axle. This line was not connected at all. I popped the push button assembly out of the dash to make sure everything was connected and replaced the light bulbs. Installed the switch back in the dash and went for a test drive. Everything is now working as it should. Did the testing on a dirt drive. Never on dry pavement. There are also electrical connectors underneath the vehicle that must be checked. They are attached to switches on the transmission and the transfer case. Let me know if this helps you get your 4wd working again.

On my 2000 chevy S10 blazer, when I push the 4HI button, the 4HI and 4LO buttons flash a yellow light and it won't shift to 4WD, stays in 2HI and the light in the 2HI button is on yellow......I hear...

vacuum leak or vacuum locker solenoid problem. a great way to check for both is to remove both vacuum lines from the solenoid (located on firewall above destributor), and put a connector between them, push the button on the dash and see if it locks in.
