When my battery died,I had to put the car in neutral to push it back 4 feet for a jump. Now the 4 wheel icon light stays on. What would cause this to happen? And approximately how much is repair?

Before you jump the gun, reset the computer by disconnecting the neg bat conn for 10 seconds. Reconn, & drive for several miles at high & low speeds to reset the body control module. If the light is still on after you reconn press it 3X & hold down.See if that does the trick.

SOURCE: 2004 Hyundia Tiburon Battery replacement

Sounds like your alternator is bad, if car will stay running long enough to get over to an auto parts place where they can do an alternator test for free have it check or you can remove alternator and take it to them so they can test it. or with a volt meter start car remove jumper cables and check voltage at battery, should have no less then 13.5 volts, what your checking is alternator output voltage.

97 buick century was running after jump started, when put in reverse it died and wont start when jump start, no chimes or lights come on at all

Dangerous practice to try & jump a near dead battery

Always try charging a battery, that is only a couple years
old & not run down more than two or three times

If the battery is dead & reads less than 12 volts, have a parts
store test it or just replace it.

Jumping a cars battery is not a fix for anything,so I fail to
see how your lost & have not addressed the battery issue,
so you can continue on with other testing,if needed

1995 blazer 4wheel drive not always working

on the transfer case area there should be a relay to tell it to go in to 4x4. now once you put a blazer in 4x4 and no longer need the 4x4 En-gauged you will need to put the blazer in revers and back up 10 to 15 feet to get it out of 4x4 before driving.

1994 Pontiac Grand Am Its sat about 2 months now. I went out to start it. It was dead. So I jumped it. Well I got it started and the check engine light and abs light was on. Well I put my foot underneath...

If the battery is bad and not holding a charge, every time you push on the brake's. The break lights come on and puts a load on the electrical system and if the voltage drops below 10.5 volts, the ECM will shut down fuel injector and ignition system. The other thing to is that the fuel pressure may be dropping due to the electric fuel pump not getting enough volts every time you put on the brakes. You cold always try keeping the jumper cables connected to make sure it's the voltage drop that is causing the engine to stall. Keep me posted, be glad to help you get your car running 1005 again soon.

Can't engage 4X4 wheel drive or disengaging

Check the actuator (located under the battery plate). Remove the battery, then the plate, and you'll see something that looks like a horn attached to hoses. One side is soft, and may have a hole in it. This will cause the vacuum not to work, hence, your 4WD won't. Good luck!
