I have a 2002 Tahoe 5.3 190000 miles.
Every two or three days the battery would go dead so today I finally got to check it out. I found out that my 4x4 isn't working either. After checking all the fuses and doing the amp check on the battery I finally found it. When the ACT fuse is plugged in it is pulling way lots of amperage draining my battery. My question is that when I pull the fuse and reinsert it I can here a Solenoide click. I am assuming it is the transfer case shift motor but haven't had a chance to crawl underneath and check it out yet. Why would the motor have voltage on it at all by doing this. I replaced the selector switch thinking maybe by chance that was it. But still does the same thing. So am I looking at a new shift motor or TCCM. Any thoughts. I'm confused. Also when I do select 4hi and back to 2wd I can hear the shift motor moving but it won't engage in 4wd.
