My son is looking at a 2004 Avalanche. 94,600 miles and every option available for the year. It's owned by a banker and he ordered it with everything. He can get it for about $10,500.Anyway, I test drove it and the "service 4 wheel drive" light popped on. Does this indicate a serious condition, or is it a "take it to the dealer and reset it" sort of thing? Any of you folks know anything about that code? Thanks!

On my 2000 Silverado Z71 with AutoTrac NP246 transfer case. I got the Service 4WD light. It was caused by a bad 4wd selector switch on the dash. It's very common for the Silverado's and may also pertain to your Avalanche.
If it's Autotrac be sure to change the fluid out as well with the blue stuff. |
