Do the lights on the buttons switch from 2 to 4wd? or does it stay lit up on 4wd and feels like is disengages? That system has an electric motor that changes transfer case gears, your push buttons, a TCCM (tranfer case control module), and a vacuum diaphram that engages the front axle. The vacuum system tends to fail due to broken lines or diaphram

So you have 2hi and 4lo? Never 4hi? If so this is a sign thay the shift motor is bad.

I Have A 07’ Yukon SLT. And I been Having battery drainage problems lately.. it will be working Fine than one minute I while get back in it to drive and it will be Dead! Get a jump, it comes back on and be fine for weeks than one day it just dies again? Not sure what’s wrong? But what I did find out is that the owner before me had Speakers hooked up and the loose Wirer's are still running under my seats and in my truck the other end of the wiRers that ran to the speaker is just thier live wirers with nothing hooked to it? Could that possibly be why the battery is seen tobe draining and if So what could I do to fix it, or either how could I disconnect the wirers from the battery running live under my seats??? 4 Answers
