Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the four-wheel drive switch pack on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. The items you'll need for this include a new 4x4 switch pack from 1AAuto.com and a flat blade screwdriver.
To start off, we need to remove the dash panel. Make sure your steering wheel is horizontal, pull down your shifter all the way down, and then just pull out on this panel. You want to slide it forward and up and over the steering wheel.
To remove your 4-wheel drive switch pack, just pry out from the different sides and it'll just pop out. Then to disconnect these two harnesses, you just want to put out on the tab and pull the harness free. Your switch pack is free.
Take your new switch pack, connect the harnesses, and then push it back into place.
Take your dash panel, put it up over the steering wheel, and then tuck it down behind that steering column. Line up the panel and push it back into place and you're all set.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to change the 4x4 selector switch on this 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. It's pretty much the same as any '01 to '02 GMC Sierra, Yukon XL, Chevy Avalanche, and Suburban. The only tools you'll need are two small flat blade screwdrivers.
First off, what you want to do is you want to put the truck into first gear, and then that allows you to pry off this back panel. You just want to remove that.
Next, what you want to do is you just want to use those two flat blade screwdrivers to pry out that switch. Using one of those flat blade screwdrivers, just pry out that little connector there, and you want to do that same thing to the other side. Just push in the tab and pull it out.
Okay, to reinstall, just reconnect those two connectors and push the switch back into place. Next, you'll just want to put the truck back into first gear. That way you can get that panel back on. We'll fast-forward as he puts the panel back on. Then when you're done with that, you just want to put the vehicle back into park.

The switch was exact replacement for my original equipment and was also at a resonable price. It was very easy to replace about 15 minutes and it operates flawless.

It was a perfect fit. Priced very reasonable and totally fix the problem which was the four-wheel drive would sometimes not engage. If it would engage then sometimes I could not get it out of four-wheel drive.

Lights up differently. Bought this to hopefully fix my 4WD issue and didn't. I still don't have 4WD on my Tahoe, and the actuator is very pricey compared to local auto shops.

It fit perfect and works as it should. I would give this a 5 star if the color of the lights matched the rest of the cluster lights. My dash lights are sort of a yellow color and the lights in this switch are more of a blue color.
Excellent quality!!

My "service 4WD" light had been on for months. Asked several mechanics about it and got varying answers with varying prices for repair. My nephew suggested just replacing the switch, so that's what I did. Surprise! A $35 part fixed the problem.
Perfect

A direct replacement for the original . There's a capacitor that wears out somewhere in this gadget . The last one I bought from the dealership cost me $100 +.

I revitalized my 20 year old Silverado named "Stickers". I wanted to make sure all component systems were in good working order and I looked to 1A Auto for replacement of the four wheel drive switch. Stickers is now in Wyoming with a "Cowboy" tag and performing well. Reliable part for a good truck.
It wuz all good!!!

recently installed this, as I had to push the 4wd button about 20 times before it would engage. Now only push once to put into 4wd and it also got rid of the service 4wd light, should have ordered this a lot sooner.
I was really surprised at the ease of installation and the help 1A Auto provided.

I was concerned about being able to install the switch. It was so very easy I was surprised. Installed it in my 1999 Chevrolet Z- 71 in less than 15 minutes with only a slot screwdriver. It was very helpful that 1A Auto provided me with a U-Tube Video on how to do it.
Fixed that "Service 4wd" message!

My original selector had a cracked solder joint on the led indicator for auto 4wd.
Apparently this causes a "service 4wd" message because i fixed everything else first and replacing the switch is what put the message out.
This switch pack was a direct replacement for a 2001 Tahoe.
Installation only required a single small flathead screw driver to get the electrical connectors loose.
The dash bezel is hilariously easy to remove with bare fingers.
About the easiest repair ever.

Have a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 HD, the light came on the dash and four-wheel drive not working. Started looking at YouTube videos so I figure I would go with the cheapest thing to replace, the switch. Now The light is off on the dash and the four-wheel drive is working great. Good bang for your buck, love 1aauto
