I have a 97 tahoe and im having problems with the push button  4 wheel
drive. Just wanting to know if anyone has had the same problem or if anyone
knows anything about it.   Here is what it is doing.

When im in 2 wheel the light on the button is off when it is suppose to be
on.
it will not do anything when i hit the 4 hi button
and when i hit the 4 lo button it goes in but the 4 hi and 4 lo lights are
both on
when i want to go back to 2 wheel it goes fine but the light does not come
on

i have put another switch in it hoping that was the problem but it didnt fix
it

i would appreciate any help with this
thanks

trusted transmission shop

that is what im trying to keep from doing.  parts alone are gonna be very
expensive.  I have narrowed it down.  its either gonna be the
shift encoder motor  $400
computer $300
or possibly a bad ground (im hoping)
 i dont want to have to pay someone for hours of searching if i can
hopefully find someone who has had a similar problem

sorry I don't have any help options for you. But we have a 97 Tahoe and
haven't had any problems with anything but the water pump which was a 1
time fix and our anti-lock brakes are acting up and some guys in here
told me about the wheel speed sensors.....We have about 93,000 on it.(in
another post I said we had like 78k,ooops) Just curious how many do you
have? and do you use your 4x4 much where your at?

Have a Great One !
Bob :)

if you get the service 4wd error, or the buttons do not work, there is a
service bulletin on it. they may replace or flash the encoder motor.  My
2003 2500hd had this problem and they finally fixed it, I hope.  People have
told me about the earlier models and the push button switches.
