service 4 wd

[02CHEV]

My service 4wd light keeps coming on when im in 4wd. I turn off the truck, it resets goes in and out 4wd . It works fine untill I have it in 4wd for 5min and wont let it shift out of 4wd. I just had the trans redone one week ago today. So what tha phuck is up with my truck

Your Push buttons could be bad, or the actuator that locks the front in is bad. I don't think it has anything to do with your trans. Now, when I had my GMC the service 4wd light would come on every 3000miles. I got tired of it and just changed to fuild in the transfer case. Later on my truck wouldn't shift into 4wd and the buttons would blink on the push buttons and once I changed them out everything worked fine.

the thing is it all worked before I had the trans rebuilt. could it be a loose wire conection some were?

That could be it or the wire could be pinched. The only way to know for sure would be to put it on a lift and check all of the connection or just crawl up under it and check . As far as I know, there is one wire that hooks up and that would be the one that comes from the actuator. And the actuator is black I think, and is oblong looking. I haven&#39;t been under my truck lately, so I don&#39;t quite remember.

I forget but its a common thing on the newer trucks for that to happen. I believe it has something to do with the transfer case and the actuator not working right. Something like that. Get it checked out.
