Put your car in neutral and and press the 2wd if that don't work go about 3mph and do the same process. If it still won't change you may have some type of sensor or electrical problem.

You probably have a bad encoder motor.It is located on the side of the transfer case on the drivers side.It is black.The other problem they had with these was the switch but you have already replaced this so your next thing is the encoder motor.Hope this helps.Good luck.

2001 Chevy Blazer, 2wd works, 4wd low works, 4wd high does not work.

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with the 4WD system on your 2001 Chevrolet Blazer. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the fluid levels in the transfer case and the front and rear differentials. Low fluid levels can cause issues with the 4WD system.
  2. Make sure that the front and rear driveshafts are properly connected and not damaged.
  3. Inspect the 4WD control module and wiring for any damage or lose connections.
  4. Check for any error codes using a diagnostic scan tool. This may help to identify any issues with the 4WD system.
  5. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to have the 4WD system inspected and repaired by a professional mechanic.
I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask

I put 2014 rims on my 2010. Tire pressure issues. screen on the dash is showing psi's blank. how do I reset? I assume these 2014 rims would have stock sensors in them, and there basically brand new.

Some Chrysler ,Jeep and Dodge vehicles have ttye pressure sensors calibrated to the vevicle,so therefore if you change the
tyres to a different type you will need to take your vehicle to a C.J.D.
service department to have the computer of your car re-programmed to accept the new tyres

2008 Dodge Ram 4WD LOW light blinks while running in 2WD. When applied the 4WD High works fine as well as the 4WD LOW but the light keeps blinking and you can hear the system trying to apply 4WD LOW

Replace the motor/module on the transfercase. It has an internal short. Don't replace it. Soon you will have to replace or rebuild the transfer case and the motor.

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.

Wont shift from 2WD to 4WD. 4WD indicator switch blinks (light) but 2WD switch light never goes out.

check switch , fuse and relay if good check cable hoses and wiring at transfer are not damaged or disconnected -check actuator for proper movement actuator has a tendency to stick lube actuator rod if necessary
