This fault is vehicle dependent. On a manual vehicle a clutch component will have failed, no hydraulic fluid or failed master/slave cylinder, a broken or maladjusted cable, a failed thrust bearing etc. On an automatic which relies on the brake pedal being depressed before a gear can be selected, it is likely that the multi-action brake light switch is At Fault, even though the lights may be working. With the ignition on but without the engine or heater blower/aircon running, press the footbrake. there should be a faint 'clunk' from the area of the gearshift. On some vehicles a light extinguishes too. If there is no clunk etc, suspect the switch before the solenoid but check the solenoid fuse as a matter of course. On older cars there may be a relay between the brake switch and the solenoid. Relays are prone to failure and the fuse and action of the relay should be checked.

If my truck won't go how do i tell if it is the clutch gone out or the manual transmission?

First off can you feel it shift through all the gears while off (not running). Second off while running can you shift through the gears or does it grind while trying to shift through them. If it grinds when you try to shift then your clutch is shot. Good luck

1987 blazer s-10 shifts great in and of 4hi you have too shut off motor to go into and out of 4lo both ranges work fine other then the switching problems?

I know I have to be stopped and in park to go in/out of 4 low, but I don't have to turn off the engine. If yours is a stick shift the pilot shaft might have just enough friction to turn the gears when the clutch is in. There just might not be anything to do about it.
