'92 Jimmy 4X Button not workin'

[gilmikalian]

Hi all, new to the board so be gentle Well anyway, I recently bought a '92 Jimmy 4X4 and now it's a 4x2! I have the one with the push button for the 4Hi & 4Lo right above the light switch. I'm not sure what this system was called but that's what I've got. Is this a common thing? Do you think I'm dealing with something electrical or mechanical and how common is this? By the way, when I try to activate it, nothing happens in drive. When I'm in N, then the lights on the button flash and a clicking comes from the glovebox area. The lights flash and tick three times then nothing. If someone out there knows what's going on, I would be much obliged.

I have a 93 Blazer with the push-button 4WD. A couple of years ago I had to have the motor replaced that does the actual switching into 4WD.

I don't know much about it other than it is a pretty expensive part to replace. At the time I had a shop to it and I believe it was $400 to $500 dollars.

Good luck.

Makes those old rattling shifters sound pretty good!

That is the most common problem with those systems. The motor that does the actual shifting of the transfer case.
