RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 GMC Sierra 1500. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Most likely this would be a dash switch fault in your 2001 GMC Sierra 1500. If not I would suspect a wiring issue from the switch to the transfer case control module.
Thanks for the help! - I'll do some wire and switch checking then.
