Hi, i have searched through these threads and i cant seem to figure out whats wrong with my 4X4? i have a 3 butten system. i have a cable going inside the cab to pull on the actuator cable, and i know that the front differential is engaging. i jacked the front end up and turned a wheel.. anyway. when i push my 4 HI or 4 Lo buttens nothing happens... sometimes both the 4 Hi and 4 Lo lights come on, sometimes they just blink and go back off. i can hear the electric motor on the transfer case make noise. but 4 wheel drive still doesnt work? any help would be greatly valued! thanks

Have you tried to pull the codes as described in either of these two threads:
OBD2 NV233 Diagnostics
NV233 transfer case / encoding motor switch

 

i have been reading these threads for a little bit now... i have no way of trying to pull any codes tho?

 

So you don't have a paperclip? If you have an OBD2 equiped '95, ground terminal 13 on the DLC. If you have an OBD1 '95, ground terminal J or short terminal J to A. With the jumper in place, turn the ignition to RUN and watch the 4wd switch.

 

im kind of confused here, i pulled the 3 butten switch out of the center of my dash now, and im not seeing a "J" on it? am i looking in the complete wrong place here?? or something?

 

Yes, you are looking in the wrong place. You need to look for the diagnostic link under the dash.

 

ok i grounded # 13 and my 4X4 lights all three of them blinked 2 times?

 

Code 2 is an encoder fault. Check the OBD2 NV233 Diagnostics link above for the diagnostic steps for this code.

 

alright thanks for the help, ill see what i can do tomorrow night... as of now... bed time! talk to you later!
