Question
Have a 1987 K5 Chevy Blazer, the light is not working in the dash showing when it is in four wheel drive. Went under dash and checked and pulled bulb, bulb is ok.  Is there a switch or relay somewhere I can check.  Many Thanks!!

Answer
Terry,
  Sorry to take so long but I'm not a Tech. That is stated in my profile. It takes me a long time to answer technical questions because I have to query MY Tech Customers. I don't always get the same answers the a single question.
  To your question, I asked 5 different Techs and got answers from: It is in the front differential, to: It's in the transmission to: It's in the transfer case. Today I got 2 answers that are the same. The switch that turns on the light is under the plastic bezel that surrounds the shifter on the floor that engages the 4 wheel drive function.
  Again, sorry to take so long. I'm trying to help but when questions are out of my area of expertise, it takes me a while to send an answer with which I'm satisfied is correct. I hope this helps..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
