SOURCE: 1994 Olds cutlass supreme..Electric Window not working

That should be it for fuse compartments..

If its not the fuse(s) or relay it might bethe switch,, or the motor..

Try to determine if there is power getting to the switch,, if so see if there is power to the motor..

You can find replacement parts pretty cheep on-line..

Hope this helps !!
Please rate me good ;o)

SOURCE: I have a 1998 bravada with the smart trak system.

I have 2K bravada. Make sure you have serviced your transfer case with the "blue" GM Auto-trac II fluid. The "encoder" motor is a common failure item also. Unplugging it at the transfer case should cause the "service smart trac" light on dash to appear. This tells you that probably the encoder controller is good. Only buy the GM/Delphi/AC Delco motor, or you'll be changing it often. Try "thepartsladi" on eBay!

Is there a switch for the awd on 98 olds bravada

There is no switch, If the light is on there is a problem with your system. The most common issue is someone installing mix-matched tire sizes or running with a low tire. This eats up the coupler in the transfer case.

AWD light is on 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada. before it came on it would pop or clunk when backing up while wheel were turned.

Check driveline for loose or worn u-joints drive shaft slip joints and cv joints at the front axle.

I am going to test drive a bravada from a dealer what should I be looking for

1993 Bravada, look for any problems in the AWD system to make sure it's working. The CV joints and ball joints go bad on the Bravada's due to the AWD system. The year of the Bravada, inspect the fuel line. Fuel Line Prone to corrosion buy the drivers side rear wheel by the frame and inspect the brake lines. Other then that, everything else would be on your judgment as to corrosion under the Bravada under carriage like the rear tail gate ECT. Good luck and enjoy you new ride.

When I turn sharpling left or right(like parking) there is a binding noise ,but not driving straight or normal speeds. 0there is a binding

this is a verry common problem with the awd bravada a tsb was sent out telling you to change the transfer case fluid to gm tract 2 fluid well let me tell you my story first i am a mechanic of 40 + years i have a 2000 bravada awd i changed the fluid 2 times like the tsb says no fix got a low mile used transfer case instaled it put the trac 2 fluid in it no fix replaced the awd module no fix so i decided to take my old transfer case apart and see what makes it tick i found out that a spring pushes the clutch fork to disingage the front drive shaft clutches the encoder moter applys the fork sending power to the f drive shaft the spring was weak and did not disingage the cluch pack THIS IS AN EASY FIX but you should replace the fluid first if it remains the same then remove the plug in the bottom and i mean the bottom of the transfer case cant miss it it looks like a tall bolt when you remove the plug a spring will come out with it i shimed my spring about a 1/4 inch PROBLEM GONE i tested this on my old transfer case on the bench first and it worked fine i also tryed streching the old spring that did not work maybe replacing the spring with a new one might also work also i would think a new encoder motor might return to rest easer then an old one this spring is what returns the encoder motor and pushes the clutch pack to 2wd

1999 olds bravada smart trac four wheel dosent engage

Probably the transfer case encoder motor. Unplugging it at the wiring harness should make the "service awd or smart trac" light come on. This will tell you the awd controller module is probably OK. Common failure item to Bravada's. Try "thepartsladi" eBay store for lowest price motor, beware aftermarket!!! Also make sure transfer case fluid is "blue" GM Auto-Trak II only! If not bllue when checking change twice after driving for a week with blue fluid.

02 olds bravada locked in awd

This is very common. It is the transfer case encoder motor. That controls the shifting of the transfer case. It needs to be replaced. Its not that hard to replace but the part is expensive. You will also need to replace the front drive shaft boot clamps, you have to cut the originals off when removing the front drive shaft. I've replaced many of these for myself and others. Good luck I hope this helps you.
