How do I get my 4x4 low setting to engage on 2000 Tahoe

[funboy6942]

I tried it in park, I tried it in neutral, but the light just flashes. It will go into 4x4 high with no problems while moving. And I know I have to come to a complete stop to do 4x4 low, but I just dont know what Im doing wrong. I have no manual and google isnt my friend right now, so maybe someone here has one and can enlighten me as to how to do it properly.

TIA

Should be able to put it in neutral, make sure you are not moving and press the button.

Is this a new body style Tahoe? Does it have Auto 4WD?

The switches are bad to go out on these. IIRC you need to be in Neutral or Park, but not 100%. If you hold High and Low will it put the transfer case in Neutral?

If it gets stuck in 4hi. Put one front wheel in the air like you just don't care.

I had this problem years ago with my dad's 1994 F150 4x4. Would not go into 4lo. It had a floor mounted shifter. Would go into 4hi just fine. I never figured it out and we never really needed it so...

put it in N while stopped. then push the button/turn the dial to 4lo. then let you foot off the break. the truck will roll a bit and you should feel it engage.
