Service 4wd indicator, 99 silverado

[sierra99]

My 99 silverado lt has done the same thing....I read all of the post about the transfer actuator but I looked at the switch itself. Pull the switch and take it apart. Look closely at the solder joints in the back of the switch while pushing on any and all of the buttons. Mine had a hairline crack in the solder joint. I had the same symptoms. Now you can either replace the switch or get a soldering iron out and add/ resolder all of the joints. I resoldered all of my joints. Now all is working great. Try that..



To get the switch out do this:

1 put key in ignition turn to on position without starting the truck.
2 put truck in drive with the motor off
3 Making sure the truck has the parking brake set.
4 pull on the bezel surrounding the gauge cluster radio and ac controls.
5 tilt steering whell all the way down
6 remove the free bezel
7 unsnap the 4wd switch

Welcome to AF.

This post is almost two years old.
Always check the date on a post before posting to it.
If it is old let old sleeping dogs sleep in peace.

If you need info on yours start a new thread and someone will help you.
