What could the problem be when the front axle won't engage but transfer case does when shifting into 4wheel drive on a 1996 Chevrolet 34 ton?

update the front axle actuator. GM has a new kit which requires you to replace the old style front axle actuator (metal shell) with a new style plastic metal actuator and update a wire harness, splicing into the brown wire at the transfer case connector. Also check the 4wd fuse just for grins.

How do you disengage 4wheel drive on 1995 sport - the front end is always driving?
I JUST RPLACED THE AXLE HALF SHAFT. YES IT IS ALWAYS ENGAGED. WHATS UP WITH THAT??
How do you change a two wheel drive suburban into a four wheel drive?
first off i am not a professional but i do no you would have to get a front axel out of a 4x4 and also a transfercase and maybe the transmission it would be alot of work but if you can get the parts cheap enough it would be worth the time which it would take awhile to do it This is a BIG project, requiring significant skills. You need the axle, springs steering linkage, transmission, transfer case, both driveshafts. You need to make sure the gear ratio matches your existing rear axle, and in most cases it won't because of the different usages between a 4 wheel drive and a 2 wheel drive vehicle. You need the skills to mount the spring perches, replace the transmission, locate the mounting brackets for the transmission and transfer case, and set up and align the steering. This is critical, because it will affect how it drives down the road, so it affects safety. So, can it be done, YES, . .however, if you have to ask the question HOW, you need to refer it to professionals, and at that point, you are probably better off buying one that it already 4wheel drive, rather than trying to convert.
How do you service a 4 wheel drive switch on a 1993 grand wagoneer?
Finally! Other Jeeps with the same problem. I have identical year/make and constantly have the message display telling me to 'service 4 wheel drive switch' beep beep. The warning message varies with frequency, displays once or twice a month, sometimes all day for a week. The only place I found the word 'switch' was in a Jeep repair manual. the switch was located in the Transfer case & the manual said don't touch,see a professional. I've been driving like this for months. I see the message above, their jeep switch was replaced but the computer warning still flashes. Any luck out there? According to the mechanic who works on my 94 Jeep it's one of three things. 1) Corrosion on the connector to the switch (which is located on top of the transfer case). 2) A bad switch. Part cost about $22.00 or 3) A bad console display. he says they have had a fair number of console display units fail. That one runs about $240. My Jeep display it only once in a while. I have checked the connections and they are fine so the switch replacement is next. If that doesn't fix it I will opt to ignore the error. try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. bad news .. you have to reset your clock and radio presets .. good news this may reset the info ctr computer and get rid of the message providing that the switch fixed the problem . It was explained to me that sometimes the computer gets a hiccup (I think it must be a windows platform lol) and a good old fashioned resetting is all it takes I have a '93 Grand Cherokee. When this same message started to display on and off, I ran to the dealer. After a year and two new switches, the message goes non-stop. I gave up and removed the chime disk in the under-dash box. The message still displays, but I don't have to hear it. I have a 95 GC that has ran the same message for the last 4 years. We have taken it to 3 mechanics and the said take it to the dealership, as they had never head of a 4WD switch. The dealereship didnt have a clue. It turns at the 99% of the time the problem is a bad Vehicle information center. It now constantaly runs a warning that the tail lights are out (even though they are orperating normally), and constantly resets itself back to January 1st at midnight. Not only that, the VIC is interfering with the alarm system, shutting down the starter, and of course causing starting problems. Here us a simple solution. Remove the VIC and throw it in the nearest body of deep water. i just unhooked the connector at the transfer case. cheap and effective. idiot lights are for idiots. Unplug the 4wd Switch Sensor on top of the trasfer case. Tape it up to something secure. Ha i just had the same thing happen to me tonight on my 94 grand Cherokee Laredo. i was like so i put it in N, then the transfercase in N then in 4L then put the trans in 1st, moved forward a couple feet then back into N and back into 4AllTime and it hasent come back on, mind you my jeep has over 175k so i guess that's expected. if you unplug the chime disk then the power doors locks wont lock, anyone else have an idea how to get the chime go away
Wont shift into 4wheel dr?
That problem almost immediately leads me to believe that you have transfer case issues. But first I would check the shifting linkage and make sure that you aren't just stuck due to normal wear.

2002 ford explorer wont disengage out of 4x4 low?
NOT ALWAYS, but sometimes there is a chain inside the transfer case that will not allow it to come out of 4Wheel low or high for that matter. Just fixed the exact problem, paid $75 for a transfer case off of craigslist and it is perfect now. But just a note, ours made a clunking noise while driving which is how we knew it was a problem with that chain drive inside the transfer case.
