Hey, I'm new to this forum. But I have an issue. We just had our first big snow storm here in Maine and of course, my 4 wheel drive has decided to not work. When I click the push button 4x4low it "engages" and I feel the low gears, but my front tires are deffinitly not spinning. I was thinking it could be my actuator motor? Any ideas?

 

Do you have manual or automatic locking hubs?

Welcome to the forum! It may be the actuator; however it is difficult to say. It may be best to stop by your local dealer and have them give it a quick inspection. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

hello i am also new to this forum i have a 1997 chevy with push button 4wd when i turn the key on the 4hi and 4lo lights come on the 2hi never comes on when the trucks in park 4wd will do nothing when in N push the 4hi button the 4hi and 4lo lights blink under dash module clicks but never changes some times the lights both stay on after they stop flashing some times they dont when they do pust the 2hi button it does the same thing the 4hi and 4lo lights fash then go out the 2hi light never comes on durring this hole thing does any one know what my problem is?

 

They are auto hubs, the actuator is what locks them I believe. I took out the actuator and put my hand inside the space that the actuator came out of and all I felt and got was oil... could it be my transfer case?
