the old s10s had the vacuum actuator on the passenger side fender. so all you had to do was manually pull it and put vise grips on it. so the 80s s10s had the same problem you would think they would figure it out that vacuum is not agood idea for any 4x4 system

I'm over it and not paying 150 an hour for a shop. If who reads this just give us the answer. Many arnt rich to pay you 8 hours for a 10 min fix that you'll lie about the repair time.

@bam69727 жыл бұрын
unplug it. and also unplug the vacuum supply line going to the transfer case. then you have one comming back from the t case to the actuator under battery. also check to see if your transfer case is over filled. if it has trans fluid in the lines then the vacuum switch has failed and also the front input seal on the t case has failed allowing trans fuid to get in the t case and overfill it. pop the fill plug on t case and drain out the excess. also check transmission fluid for proper level.

does the switch light up at all? if not check fuses. might be bad switch. also if it just blinks for a few then goes back off then its the encoder motor on the t case. if it will go into 4lo in neutral but not 4hi its the encoder motor.

My father had problems with his 96 S-10 vacuum actuator and home-rigged something like this but to a bracket he welded on the front bumper. I have a 2004 Blazer and my 4x4 isn't working, but my switch and electrical isn't working at all, so I can't operate the transfer case or the vacuum crap. I've tried replacing the 4x4 switch, but it hasn't worked, there is some mysterious wire in the electrical crap to the 4x4 switch on the dash that isn't working. I would like to put a manual control like this one to bypass the vacuum, but I also need a solution to operating the transfer case. Do you know a way to make some sort of manual control on the transfer case as well? Is there someway I could rig some sort of lever or cable for that? Any help is appreciated.
@bam69725 жыл бұрын
behind passenger side kick panel is your 4x4 module. make sure connections arent corroded. common problem. also if you take the encoder motor off t case and weld/ rig a lever system. you can put a manual 4x4 lever in from a blazer that had manual shift. have to cut hole in floor board tho by your right foot to put in shift lever
@alexanderdeatherage26755 жыл бұрын
@@bam6972 Circumstances changed today, bizarre stuff. My 4wd has never worked or lit up at the switch since I've owned it almost 2 years. I replaced 4x4 switch a month ago and nothing happened. and have checked 4x4 module and checked connections. 4x4 fuse 15 is good. Also, since I've owned the car the interior dome lights haven't worked either. I figured out just today that fuse 8 is the one for this and it was clearly blown. (I didn't really care that much about the dome light so it hasn't been a priority) I replaced fuse 8 today and the dome light came on, but the 4x4 and all its glory did as well. I had 4x4 working correctly all day and the indicator light working too. However, my rear dome light at the trunk area was on all day and wouldn't turn off, In frustration I pushed on the light area (its supposed to only come on when doors open). It suddenly turned off, but the fuse blew and the 4x4 went as well. I am absolutely completely do not understand why fuse 8 dome light fuse (not fuse 15 4wd) is key to my 4wd operation. My fuse is also blowing easily and there must be something in this dome light stuff causing that. I am thinking of unhooking the rear dome light and replacing the fuse again to maybe solve my problem. Any thoughts on this turn of events?
