93 chevy S-10 4x4 disengage problem by harkins

I have a 93 chevy S-10 4x4 w/ 4.3 engine, and has 130K miles. Truck has a 4 high, and 4 low dash switch. The switch has a green light indicator for high position, and orange light for low. Lights may sometimes burn in two wheel drive without pushing switch, they may burn one or the other, may both burn at same time, or not at all like it should be in two wheel drive position. The problem is that you can engage the four wheel drive, but it will not disengage back to two wheel drive. When this happened I had taken it to a mechanic and he got it back to two wheel somehow. Does anyone have any suggestions on problem, or know what the mechanic may have done to disengage.

2002 S10 4Hi doesn't work by cyclonewoody

I'm having trouble getting into 4Hi in my 02' S10. While in gear and moving, push the 4Hi button and nothing happens. Slow to a crawl, tranny in Neutral, push 4hi and both 4hi & 4lo lights flash but it kicks back to 2hi. Moving slow, tranny in Neutral, push 4lo and most of the time it kicks into 4lo, sometimes both 4hi and 4lo lights stay on or all lights are completely off, in this case, it's in 4lo but tranny won't shift and runs about 3000 rpm at 5mph. A couple of times I've pushed the right combo of buttons and got 4hi to actually work. Is this something electrical? Any help or suggestions on a fix would be appreciated.

I had the same thing happen last winter. Try disconnecting your battery for a few minutes to reset the computer. Worked good for me.....

on ur passenger side fender under the hood is a vacume module the line may be disconnected or you might have a break in the hard plastic going down to your transfer case. the only other thing it could be is the vent tube under your trk is clogged up

Jamie, the mechanic probably put it in neutral then shifted in to 2 wheel drive, then backed it up for 50 to 100 feet then put it in park and then back in to drive
