well i talked with the tech at the dealership and told him my problem and what i had already replaced i.e. switch and fuse he told me that there has been a service bulletin on 4wd lights that was one of three fixes the other two fixes are the switch and the ground wires not being grounded properly (grind the paint off frame)

is it the switch to tell you its in 4wd or is it a service light, cause my older chevy, the light would stay on for a while after i pulled it out, usually till i shut it off. it never seemed to still be locked in so i just ignored it.

I had the same problem on my truck. It would blink but not do anything. Found out it ws just the ground on the driverside frame from the tranny wire harness, the bolt was stripped out. Easy fix.
