I believe TCC is in the kick panel on the passengers side. I'm not real up on problems with that area of the 4x4 but a search here will produce several threads & checks etc.

What year is your vehicle? Lots of posts on this and I just did work on mine. But for a thorough understanding visit these two links in order:

If you jump one pin on the OBD plug to ground, you can read the 4wd codes. (assuming you have an OBD blazer with the 3 button switch?) The 4wd lights will flash in a sequence and will tell you what codes are stored. There is a good write up on this forum about it.

Default Mine did the same thing

Mine did the same thing. Could here it try to engage when you put it into N. But would not switch over successfully. It would click when in N flash and kick out.

All lights were off on the indicator. Since i didn't want to change the controller and really needed 4x4 fast. I unplugged the battery for a few hours. Reconnected the battery and was good to go. This doesn't fix the problem but may work until you have cash and time to change the module.

From Canada and dont have a garage. Friggin cold out there.
