I put in a used transfer case and 4x4 worked. Making a heck of a noise in the front on tires are squealing and jerks back and forth. But today I was in 2x4 and attempted to go in 4 hi while sitting still and it didn't work. Drove on home and tried again while going up my driveway and it went in 4hi. But now it won't go out. Won't go to 4 lo or back the 2x4. Only 4 hi and auto 4x4. Can hear front actuator and encoder motor mouth working. Sounds like they shift and then shift back then do it again. Then I get the service 4x4 light. Anyone have any idea what it may be??

Ok, thanks for the help guys!

Also i forgot to mention my ABS light is on. Would that cause an issue with the 4x4?

Damn, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the help!

Just had my truck on the lift, the front tires turn in 4x4 until you hold the front tires. Are there clutch packs in the transfer case? I checked the fluid in the transfer case and it was black and stunk bad. Front actuator and transfer case motor both sound like they're working properly and no service 4x4 light still. Thanks in advance!

Haha alright thanks. Nope don't have any extra change to share. Wish I did lol. Old girl has 248k miles.

I fixed my picture haha. I put my truck in 4hi on my way home tonight just to see what it would do. Now the light is just flashing until I press 2hi again. Does this in 4lo and auto also. Wasn't doing this before, still no service 4x4 light. It did kick into low gear when I put it in 4lo but still kept flashing and no power to front wheels. Still think it's the encoder motor? Thanks in advance!

I have a 2000 gmc with the push button 4x4. It wasn't working, but no service 4x4 light and switch lights up like it should. I replaced the front actuator and while I had it on the lift engaged the 4x4 and the front spins, and won't when disengaged. Took it off the lift and tried it out and no pulling from the front tires. Light still works right and can hear it kicking in/out. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
