Tools used
Trim Tool Set
1. Removing the 4WD Switch
Pop out the dashboard trim by hand
Turn the ignition on
Shift the shifter to its lowest position
Lower the steering wheel to its lowest position
Remove the dash trim
Place the vehicle in park
Pry out the switch with a trim tool by pressing the tabs
Disconnect the wiring harnesses
2. Installing the 4WD Switch
Connect the connectors
Press the switch into the dash
Shift the shifter to its lowest position
Press on the dashboard trim
Place the vehicle in park
Raise the steering column
To remove the 4-wheel-drive switch, I grab the dashboard trim and pop it out by hand. Put my keys in the ignition and put my foot on the brake. Just turn the ignition on. I'm just going to shift the shifter all the way down so I have some space, and then we can move the steering wheel down. Lift it out, hit the hazard switch, and put that back. Put the vehicle back in park. Turn the ignition off.
Let's move our steering column up a bit. There are two clips, two tabs actually: one here and one here. These are plastic trim tools. You can get these from 1AAuto.com. Just pry up here and I'll pry up here. Work the switch out. Pull it out of the dash. You need to disconnect the electrical connections. Push this tab and flip it open. Pull the connector out. Same on this one. Pull it up and over the lock. The switch is removed from the dashboard.
Install the new switch. Reconnect the electrical connectors. These are keyed, they'll only go on one way. Make sure they snap into place. New switch, push it up into the opening and lock at the top and on the side. Then, move the steering wheel back down. I'm going to turn the ignition on, put my foot on the brake, and shift the shifter down. Slide our trim panel back on. Make sure you get it around the shifter. Slide back in. Clip into place. Then go back in park, turn the ignition off. The switch is replaced.

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.

First of several orders from 1a. They were polite and professional in helping me identify exactly which switch I needed. This particular item was a plug and play part that took less than 10 minutes to install. The price was right, the part refreshed a dated look and fixed my issue quickly.
Arrived quickly

The's seem to go bad every six months on my 05 Suburban. Cheap enough and easy enough to just replace. Wish someone would guarantee the part to last a year or more.

It works. Unfortunately it was not the answer to my problem. As far as the product goes, it was cheap, fast shipping and now my 4x4 numbers are no longer worn out. My dash looks nicer...now onto figuring out what's wrong with my 4x4 system.

This switch is just perfect for my truck. My old one worked but the lights were out. It was less hassel to get a replacement than to fix the old one. Installation was easy and only took me about 10 minutes total. I received it quickly when ordered. Was the first thing I have ordered but wont be the last. Thank you.

I started with the switch in hopes that it would fix my problem of intermittent 4 wheel drive engagement, and disengagement. The switch is a breeze to install, and so far things appear to be working better.

Replaced the four wheel drive switch in my suburban with this one from 1A Auto bc the vehicle would switch into low 4 or to a neutral state on its own. Replaced switch and the issue was fixed.

I got my switch one day earlier than I was promised. Everything that was sent to help with the installation was very helpful, especially the access to video. The switch works great and I will definitely be using 1A auto when needed in the future.

Works great, I made sure to replace this at the same time as the 4wd actuator. Really easy to replace by tilting the steering wheel down, the dash face is only clipped in so take it easy on pulling it off and the switch clips in and out just as easily.
Worth the money

4wd service message. Are these 4wd switches prone to faulty? I hate guessing. Not sure if I can test the old one with my meter.June 24, 2018

There should be a sticker in your glove box containing all your vehicle's 3-digit RPO numbers.
