I have been investigating this and I've come to assume that since most people don't use their 4 wheel drive that often. Sometimes the switch it's self becomes rusty and the actuator that kicks in your 4 wheel drive and so forth. Make sure the switch is still getting contact and then the actuator try and lubricate it up so it slides in and out freely. And then from now on after you get it going. Kick it in 4 wheel drive about once a month to keep it free.

What does the check 4wd light mean?
Your 4WD is currently not working. There has been some problems with late model GM trucks 4WD. Some are related to the pushbutton switch on the dash. My 02 silverado was warrantied by dealer because of a bad dash switch. This just happened to me. I was told to check the fuse first, if it wasn't blown it would be in the switch. Sure enough the fuse was blown...replaced and now working fine. same thing happened to my 03 silverado 2500hd. its the 4wd actuator switch. i think there is a bulletin on this.
