SOURCE: Service 4 wheel drive

The service 4 wheel drive light comes on because there's a problem. The biggest causes of this I've seen are a software glitch in the final drive control module which the dealer can fix by reprogramming and the other is usually the electric actuator on the front axle housing. The only light that comes on by a timer is the one that says, "perform service" in your overhead console or odometer.

possibly, but the most common problem is the engagement motor located on the rear of the transfer case. Motor looks like small wiper motor and can be replace fairly easily.

How to change one of the sensors that controls 4 wheel drive and anti-lock brakes on a 98 Bravada

They do not control the system only give information about operation to the controlling computer module. What fault codes are recorded in the control modules memory is where you start, don't guess, it can get very expensive very fast and not fix your problem whatever it is.

How do i replace the brake pads on a 98 oldsmobile bravada

wow looking over your posts it sounds like you need a haynes or chiltons book if you plan on working on the 4 wheel drive you better have both.The brakes are fairly easy but you will probably need a set of allen wrenches that goes on a 3/8 s drive ratcheting wrench this allows you to get alot of torq on those 2 allens on the back side.i would also lift the whole front end up so that you can freely turn the wheels its tight under there.

How put 4x4 osmobile 98 dont have bottons

I believe that oldsmobile bravado's are all wheel drive all the time. This means that you shouldn't have to put it in four wheel drive it is turned on all the time. when the vehicle senses that it is losing traction it engages the front wheels.
