Almost a decade later and you’re still helping people. I had this same problem today and the fuse method worked like a charm. Doing the Lords work brother. I appreciate ya

Thank you! Glad to hear that the video is still helping people. It’s stories like this that make me want to keep them going.

Can you plz tell me which fuse is it

[@SimplyRebecca.56]

I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO!!! I had the transmission replaced in my Chevy Trail Blazer and when I went to pick it up, they told me that the service 4wd light was on because the transfer case was not communicating with the transmission. And they also told me that you CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS.... So we drug it home and started searching youtube for a solution that we could do ourselves. And we found you...GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!Keep those videos coming....I will be forever grateful that I found this video.....

5 years after this video got posted and this information is still GOLD. The fuse method worked instantly. This should be the first thing anyone tries. I did notice it still doesn't want to shift around when use the switch so I'm guessing the module is bad because the motor seems to be working fine. I finally got rid of that whining noise. I think mine was stuck in between shifting from 4w high and 2w high hence the whining noise. I though I was gonna shred my transfer case but this fixed it Thank you so much!

Thanks for the post. I've been looking all over the web for answers about my 4WD problems I've had with my '03 HUMMER H2. This by far answered all the questions. Really, thanks!

[@amymcgee4201]

Omgz this video just helped me out sooo much because my 03 Chevy blazer was stuck in 4hi and the information about the vehicle in neutral to get it out of the 4wd. Vehicle was making funny noise and I got nervous and found your video and it was good knowledge of what to check and do. It had snowed so needed to use the 4wd in it. Just saved me money. Thank you for posting this.

[@dr.g.michaelchristensen2768]

Thanks Jamie!! I followed your's and a couple other videos (I compiled them). My truck is a 2005 GMC Silverado1500. Here is the compiled procedure I used. After I took the ground to the battery off for 30 Minutes and re-installed the ground, I took out two fuses (Treck - 30amp and 4ws - 15A) briefly, and put them back in. Then I went into the cab and turned the truck on (but not start). I put the truck in (N) ---not park---. I then held the 2w and 4wd low switches simultanously until the red N light on the 4wd panel lit. Then I pressed 2wd. I heard a loud clunk and no more stuck in 2wd. This is the lead up event: I was going up a hill with some loose rocks and I selected auto 4wd and heard a load clunk. At the top of the small grade. I stopped and put it in 2wd and it made a "gear grinding sound" from the left front tire. I tried switching to 4wd and all hell broke loose. So I figured the front left wheel got stuck partly in drive, because in 2wd a gear grinding sound came from left front only. Thanks Jamie. Your's was the missing key in the other videos. I owe you dinner :)

[@rodneywise6413]

Thanks! I found your video too late, as I took it to the dealer stuck in 4 hi. Needed dang truck ASAP. $907 bill for new motor. If I’d known, I’d have done this and delayed repair. Only $200 on Rock Auto.

Because of this comment, I fixed a 2 year issue on my 2005 Suburban being stuck in 4WD low. Screeching and jumping with every turn. It was horrendous. After watching TONS of KZbin videos on how to fix it....I finally was lucky enough to read the above comment that said pull fuse number 6. But which frign fuse is number 6?!@!! ? After more searching... I pulled the TREC 30A (All-Wheel Drive Module) fuse. Its in the fuse box in the engine bay, pop off the cover, look at the bottom right corner...there is a grouping of four fuses, look at the far lower right corner fuse, then move left one fuse, 2nd from the end, on my car its a green fuse with "30" stamped on it. Get some needle nose plyers and gently pull it out...then go start your Suburban...no more 4WD. So, all of your 4WD problems will end.

Thanks for the info! This helped me solve my issue. My 05 Silverado was stuck in 2 HI but then got stuck in AUTO 4WD when I kept trying to engage 4x4. I trouble shot it down to the shift motor/encoder assembly. The new one came in the neutral position but couldn’t get my transfer case to go into neutral position. Watched this video about putting the transmission in neutral first and just like that, I was able to rotate my transfer case into neutral and the new shift motor lined up perfectly!

So you did not have to remove the fuse also? I'm not sure which fuse it is mine are a little different than his were

[@scottrichardson6907]

This worked like a charm. I have a 2006 Chevy Tahoe z71. I took the first step from his advice of disconnecting the Bat cable and the removing the fuse. Waiting about 30 secs. and plugged in the fuse again and reconnected the bat cable. Cracked the truck and initially it didn't work but place in Neutral, hit 2wd. It engaged roughly with a loud sound and worked like a charm. I still have the "service 4wd" on the DIC indicator. Which means I will probably have to replace the encoder motor sensor or the transfer case motor soon, if the problem persists. Thank you for posting!!!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Thanks for posting. Had to put bosses 2012 Chevy 2500 in 4x4 to get unstuck today. It wouldn’t go back into 2wh. Had to pull over and take actuator off the transfer case and manually shift it. Will diagnose the issue later but feel like it’s the tccm.

[@reeupp1257]

So here’s my story. Hopefully it help others who were in the same boat as me. I have an 06 Chevy Silverado and my 4X4 selector switch would randomly go in different modes such as 4HI & 4LO on its own following up with a “service 4X4” message. Well one day, It left me stranded. None of my lights for my 4X4 switch was on and I was unable to select 2HI. I lost all my gears including park and when I was switching from Reverse to Park, a loud grinding noise can be heard. I thought I was toast. After all the solutions you mentioned, the very last option worked for me. I took off the T-case encoder off and turn the shaft by hand and what do you know, It’s back up and running again until i get a replacement. Well anyways just wanted to say thanks!

Thank you!! My battery went dead and I replaced it. My 99 blazer was stuck in 4 lo, I had not pushed the button.. I purchased this Blazer some time ago, thought that most kinks were worked out of it. I have done a lot of research and kept a record of what I found. Checked and there was your link. disconnected power supply to fuse panel under the hood. Turned on light switch and went and did some thing else. Also pulled two fuses. Later came back and connected fuse panel. Light switch was off. installed two fuses. Got in car and put gear selector in neutral. Noise came from under car and lights indicated that I was in two wheel drive. Test drove and I was. Thank you so much.

I truly appreciate your video but have some questions to help alleviate my confusion; your very first instruction is to disconnect the battery cable (2:17-2:30). Then you say to turn the lights on for 30 minutes. If I've already disconnected the battery, what is the point to this step (as lights will not be going on) so ... please explain this instruction and what you expect to gain by turning on a light switch that has no power to it.

UPDATE: I Got the truck back in working order! Thanks JAMIE for the video, I couldnt have did it without it, I was able to find which FUSE to pull to do the reset as you explained , it is "TREC" fuse lower right corner 30amp in a 4 fuse group with radio fuse in it, for you guys wondering which fuse in 03-06 GMC Sierra or Silverado... so FYI, I must have defected my encoder when I tried to operate it without installing it, when I was trying to get spline to line up to reinstall it after transfer case swap.I got a used encoder at parts yard for $15.00 (HELL YEAH to UPULL YARDS!) I used my module and not the one I got at the yard, didnt seem same because the GM P/N was different so I didnt want to chance trying it and not matching, even though was same M30/NP8 vehicle. LESSON to learn here is DO NOT attemp to operate an ENCODER without having it mounted, I read on another site that there is a WARNING of this on a BRAND NEW encoder.

Can you tell me how the best way to fix a small gas leak , on a 03chevrolet Silverado 4x4 extended cab , it's located between the tank an EVAP , I think it's a return line . It's leaking where the quick connect hooks together , not sure if it's just dirty or what but would like to fix it without removing tank. I haven't drove it in like a year just wondering what you thought about it , but only time it leaks is when I start it and I guess when I cut it off it releases pressure I guess

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

I would just get the little repair kit from one of the auto parts stores for fuel line and basically it’s just a hose they’ll slide over the two ends in a couple clamps or if you need to if it’s three leaking on the quick connect you can actually cut that out and replace that as well so they’ve got a real cheap about 10 bucks

I have a 2007 silverado classic and paid a person to work on it. It's fixed 4wd working all is fine for now. The person I paid to work on it got another person from another shop to work on it that specializes more in the electrical department but I was told there was some kind of short that was happening that was actually burning and ruining the transfer case motor and more then one motor was tried before the problem was pinpointed. So all's good now and imma try and focus on some other things that I need to correct on this truck because having no 4wd and all that starting making me care less for the truck but that will change now i'm just glad I was able to have a person local near me take care of it.

I am recent owner of a TB bought bought off original owner. Got the same issue here with 4lo. The manual for mine says best to be rolling slow in N hit the switch (out of 4lo) I tried your suggestion first (didn't start the engine) and I heard that motor de selected 4lo and went back to 2hi. I read most of the manual after buying it and only retained/memorized "Ensure vehicle is stopped/under 2mph before selecting 4lo" but then forgot it has to be in N to before going back to 2hi (& sends us into this goof up). I think it's a "protection mode" of some kind. Stop owners from damaging the transfer case. Thanks 👍

Jamie, I did the battery reset. I did the fuse pulling reset. Both under dash and under hood. I cleaned the ground to perfection under the driver side door. I put a different tccm in. Still my lights do not light up on the switch after starting. And I am in low gear. Is it the shift transfer motor itself? I am going crazy. I was low on transfer case fluid and added some. Do I have to pull the front drive shaft in order to get at the bolts for the transfer motor? Therefore allowing me to shift the spline mechanically.

My envoy doesn't have the side panel so would have to pull the center panel covering the radio, ac knobs and vent controls with the 4wd and rear wiper blade knobs at the bottom. Its not stuck in any position yet but hoping changing the oil and your advice about the TCCM will prevent it from going that far. Thanks Again

[@brianpedersen4714]

Thank God Manuel is overriding my manual override...

[@dellastaggs8809]

can you remove short front drive shaft on gmc manual shift to change to two wheel drive in emergency situation of truck stuck in neutral

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

+Della Staggs I would manually shift it back in the two wheel drive out if you have a problem with the shaft over then drop it to keep it from walking back in

[@sssiowa]

Ty you man. I'm in co. Daughter is in Kansas. Ty so much. It totally helped me explain..which you did much better to her what needed to be done !!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Glad I could help

[@codyschwoch5451]

Do you have any ideas on how to get a 2003 Chevy avalanche to go into 2 Wheel drive because mine will go through all of the four-wheel drives even including the all-wheel-drive, but it will not go back into two

[@JoshWray-pp6mc]

Thank you man, I just pulled the fuse and it went back to normal!

[@garywagner7924]

You saved me big $$$$ and some of my already thinning hair....THANK YOU YOUNG FELLA!!!

[@danielbrown9569]

To save you some time, speaking as a guy who was stuck in 4L searching for quick fixes because the truck wouldnt even go over 5 mph and even that you could tell was labored. Turns out GMC put a cheat code in their manual for such a thing, and you need to be at a complete stop, put the truck in neutral..... and then turn your switch. It worked like a charm for me. Did it all from inside the truck, no tools, took 10 seconds once I found the cheat.

[@Vybz_tyty]

When you put in neutral , what switch do you turn

[@rvaille17]

When it was in 4L do you know which direction the transfer case fork was in? I tried to manually switch mine outta neutral, wasn’t sure which position 2hi was but mine wouldn’t go past 5mph either (probably in 4L based on ur comment) I’m just trying to find out which direction I need to turn that fork to get 2hi

[@smoke9327]

Ty I got stuck in 2wd in a deep hole . I needed 4wd low n I'm going to do as u said going clockwise to 4wd lo ty very much.

[@brock3367]

I have a 02 s10 zr2. The 4 wheel drive is not engaging so what I gather from this video I should start with the TCCM is that correct?

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

brock3367 Hi Brock, TheCarMan addressed your question on today's vlog. We are in the process of uploading it now so be sure to check it out. It will be titled Vlog 2.

[@brock3367]

ok

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

brock3367 Let me know if you were able to locate it, Brock.

[@360Angling-Outdoors]

i replaced the transfer case motor selector last year because my 4x4 was shifting into gear at random and light came on. now the other day my transfer case is stuck in auto mode and won’t shift into anything else and i can hear the motor trying to move and making its sounds but no action 2003 suburban 4x4

[@LtProductions_]

Yeww thank you so much mate helped me out as well have work in a couple of days and this just helped me out bloody legend give this guy a raise 🙌🤙🏿

[@jesscast5122]

Hey Jamie The TCM Do you know where it is located on a 1999 Escalade?? It is NOT where this video shows on this model. Thanks in advance for your reply

[@Canvideo]

Try looking behind the radiator fan shroud on the right side, below and to the left of the battery. I believe the ECM and the TCM are both there.

[@scotsmun7993]

This is a very good video . Wish all of em were this good My only question is was that shaft stem shown in the two wheel drive position? Thanks

[@roundone7954]

My problem ended up being just the button. At the junkyard there was 24 trucks and only one had the 4 by 4 button still left in it. I'm guessing that 4 x 4 button/switch becomes a common problem Considering all the trucks that have them taken out at the junk yard.

[@aymeefabyahair6707]

Hi JJ, I have a 2004 Surburban 1500, as soon as I put it in drive and give it gas its an immediate grinding taking place. I tried to switch it to 4 lo then back to auto awd, but no change. it is just a constant grinding. I will try the reset method and remove the motor to see what happens.

[@aymeefabyahair6707]

OK, did the battery disconnect and fuse removal no change - still grinds. I have a Borg Warner 4484 Transfer Case, so my transfer case motor is different as well as the location of it. Also my control module does not seem to be located in the area as yours. Any ideas on where it would be on a 04 suburban ?

[@Quagmire1771]

Thank you sooooo much!! Really helped me out. 🤘Mine was the #6 fuse 'tccm' transfer case control module on a 2004 chevy colorado.

[@daphneblake7889]

I have a 99 yukon. That was stuck in 4H. (It was a struggle to get it into 4H to begin with) then it stayed. After watching your video, i put the truck in N and shut off the engine. Then while still in N, i held the 2H button down while i started the engine. (Foot on brake) and it finaly switched into 2H (was stuck for 2 days!) Service 4wd light has been coming on while i drive every now and then. Been doing that a long time without and noticable problems. System has been switching fine manualy (until recently)...i never use the auto 4wd setting.

[@daphneblake7889]

An update... i replaced the switch cluster and had had no more problems...i opened the old cluster and could see phisical damage to some of the solder joints. Its possible the connection overheated and caused the damage. We will see how long this cluster holds up.

[@aandadailey]

@@daphneblake7889 how the cluster holding up

[@alm7707]

I just put in another transfer case for a guy last week. It was stuck in 4 low. 3rd one in the last year (different trucks) the first place to look if you're stuck in 4 low is to check the oil level. Most of the ones I've replaced were completely dry.

[@driftersden4439]

At the moment my service 4wd light comes on once in a while (2004 GMC Envoy) second time I noticed it came on then went off, my switch works ok all lights come on as I change positions. I was going to take it in to get the oil changed in the transfer case thinking that may be the problem. Would changing the TCCM be the next fix before any major work. I will take it to advance auto or auto zone and get them to read the code if it comes on again. Great Video any advice needed

[@dkdj5]

Thank You very much. This is the first info I've found helpful. I heard the motor running, but shaft wasn't turning when I took it off. I turned the shaft counterclockwise to put it in 2wd, but it went to neutral almost immediately. I turned it counterclockwise again and got it to stay long enough to tell it was in low range. So I turned it clockwise and verified front drive shaft was not turning. It went okay, but goes into neutral every few miles, mostly on decel. 2006 4.2 Envoy 226 transfer case. Is it different from the one you reported on, or am I missing something. Thanks again! I ordered a motor and motor shaft on old one doesn't move, so is seems like it should hold transfer case in correct gear.

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

dkdj5 were u stuck in 4 low

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

So were you able to use the old motor to hold it into place ?

[@dkdj5]

I didn't try, but I doubt it because even though I could hear the motor running, the female shaft in motor was not turning, so I would still be in neutral if I put it back on. In you video you said to turn the spline from the transfer case counterclockwise to put it in 2wd, however I had to turn mine clockwise to put it in 2wd. Was there a change in production for a 2006 226 or were you mistaken? I also found the easiest way to move the spline with pliers was to be on a level surface, in neutral and push on the front tire with my foot to rock it slightly while turning the spline. There was never a solid detent I could feel and it would go to neutral often while driving. Usually on longer deceleration with no braking. I got to where I could put it back into gear very quickly. I needed to get it smogged. New motor will be here tomorrow. Now I need to rebuild front differential. I need to see if you have a video for that. Thanks again!

[@dkdj5]

If I turned counterclockwise as instructed in your video, it was in 4wd low. Originally it was stuck in neutral and my wife had to tow me home at 10:00 at night.

[@keithmorrison6176]

one last question these actuater do they have to have a gear ratio to work?

[@larrywillisjr5277]

I have an 02 Yukon and apreciate your advice and simple fixes, you save me alot of money and worry. Thank much

[@brireed3958]

Larry Willis Jr i also have an 02 yukon with the same problem. what did you do to fix it?

[@matthewwebber9682]

Can you do this to put your truck In 4x4 I have a 2003 a GMC 1500HD

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

yes you can put it in

[@vguerret3981]

worked on 2004 Avalanche but hard to find the right fuse... I pulled two and got it to work pronto just by disconnecting the battery, waiting 30 minutes, removing 2 fuses, reinstalling, turn on key, put in neutral, changed from 4-Low to 2WD.

[@djslater358]

I have a 99 Yukon that is stuckin 4lo, I have replaced the switch and the actuator with no success. Any recommendations?

[@missirritated4872]

My tb won't shift had to have it towed home. Red N lights up on the 4wd switch...any ideas? It starts but won't go in drive or reverse etc. And when I put it in park there is grinding on top of it all. I don't know what it is on if it's in 4l or 4 h

[@williamivery1809]

Wow did you get it fixed because I got the same problem

[@stevenwright6280]

thanks a lot for your help very well explain very helpful I just drove 15 miles in four wheel drive low at 35 mph pulling my boat to get home but I would do this in the morning thanks again

[@larryinks7544]

I have a 2015 GMC canyon and it is stuck in 4wd low. Will this trick work on my year model?

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

I have a 2007 Chevy Colorado 4wd. The truck doesn’t get into 4 hi or 4 low I checked the tccm looks good and I bought a new transfer case motor still no luck nxt thing would be the actuator on front left axle. I don’t know if you know anything about these trucks but if you have any advice it would be appreciated.

[@allanatkeson9911]

I have a 95 Chevy truck I bought an actuator plug for the front axle it came with two peices do I need to use the two peices or just the longer screw peice

[@dsimmonssr.8064]

I have a 2016 escalade and I pulled fuse #6 and it worked for me. Thanks for the feedback. Different fuse # but same methodology. I did not disconnect the battery either. I'm out of town this saved my ass

[@King173yt]

Hi we are out of town with a 2016 Escalade and are stuck in 4 high. Wanted to see how long you left fuse #6 out for until it worked? Did you do anything else? Thanks so much! We are 7 hours away and really need to get home!

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

About 10 min

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

You should be able to do the speed limit in 4 hi

[@Clyffcarlock1]

I was able to put my 2005 suburban LT I neutral and push the button into 2wd. I could hear the shifting in the front differential.
