If you have front end problems like an pitman arm or idle arm needs to be replaced, it may not got into 4 wheel drive. Go to the nearest muffler shop or mechanic to have them lift up your truck to see if something needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 1996 JIMMY / 4 WHEEL DR DOESN'T ENGAGE but LIGHT TURNS ON

The problem is in the transfer case. My mechanic said there is a pin that engages the 4x4. My pin sheared off. He replaced it. It works fine now.

SOURCE: 2000 GMC Jimmy Transmission Whine

Does it sound like a loud winding sound coming from the front right side? I have a 2001 Jimmy and the 4wd tries to engage when driving up steep hills and going at highway speeds. The actuator vacuum switch engaged when the transfer case vacuum switch sends the vacuumed air to the actuator. What is happening is their is either a leak in the vacuum lines, a faulty actuator switch, or a faulty transfer case vacuum switch. When the jimmy has enough air pulling in, the extra vacuum is trying to push the actuator switch in when it is not supposed to. It is a much cheaper fix than a transmission. GMC should have recalled the whole 4wd system on any of the S10's, the JImmy's, and Blazers.

What causes 4x4 switch to just blink when trying to put in 4 wheel drive 2000 gmc Jimmy

The reason the light is flashing constantly is because the vehicle is sensing that four wheel drive(4WD) is not working. These 4WD systems use vacuum from the engine to engage/disengage to front axle. The vehicle probably has no vacuum going to the front axle, which would not allow the 4WD shift to complete, which would then leave the light on the dash flashing.
First thing to check is that the vacuum actuator on the firewall is working as it should.

Four wheel drive

Try engaging the 4wd H when the vehicle is rolling slowly and in gear . Sometimes if the unit is actuated the gears will not line up an get stuck on the end of each other and will not mesh. If the gears are turning this is unlikely to occur and meshing is easier.. have the actuator checked (part that actually does the changing) and check the wiring or vacuum hoses if any used as there may be a leak or wiring /connector problem ( water /moisture/ dirty pins etc)

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.

How do i bypass security on 98 gmc jimmy 4.3

I experienced this problem, intermittant failure to start. This procedure must be done with the truck RUNNING.

Remove the cover off of your ignition switch. On the top there is a small wire connector that, once the truck is running, should be disconnected. This will turn on the 'SECURITY' light. All will be better, except the security light will be on at all times, much cheaper than replacing the ignition switch, however.
