I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500, my sevice 4wd light was on. I had taken it to a local transmission repair shop and I was informed that my transfer case connectors were corroded and was not getting a good connection, so whenever it would rain or snow my service light was on. After repairing this and $450.00 later. The service light still persisted to come on. So I went to a GM dealer and bought a new switch, this finally fixed the problem. hope this helps everyone. Major suggestion given "check the switch first it is only $65-$70 brand new.

Replying to: denncat22 (Mar 12, 2007 5:56 pm) on the way to work a couple days ago at 75 mph the 4wd just kicked in by itself..couple loud bangs seconds later came from the front wheel area. anyone ever have this happen? was stuck in 4wd for 10 minutes or so till i finally got it out into 2wd then pulled the fuse for the tranfer case so i could make it to work. just had 2 front tires put on..slightly different from the rear..heard this could be the problem as you need to match them perfectly. asked 5 diff friends and got 5 diff answers. also isnt there some kind of failsafe so this wont happen if it happens to be a short in the switch? drove it home with the fuse pulled (about 50 miles) with no noises..seems to be ok but im afraid to put the fuse back in till i find the exact problem. has an automatic tranny.

Replying to: kegabear (May 04, 2007 3:59 am) Did it shift into 4Hi or 4Lo? If it was 4Lo, then the problem is not in the front diff. - the diff. doesn't have two speeds. Once you figure it out and do the repair, make sure you take it offroad and put it through the paces to make sure there was no damage. You don't want to find out when you really need 4x4 and it's not available. 1offroader

I have an 03 Silverado Z71 ext. cab. and just recently the 4wd system has been acting up... I have the AutoTrac system and when I go to turn the truck on, sometimes it says it is in 4wd, auto or neutral. It then tells me to service 4wd, no other lights are on and I'm not turning on anything... Most the time it is normal and in 2wd when I turn it on. Mechanically the sytem works like normal when I want to go 4wd I just push the button as normal and it works... |
