I had a similar problem on my 99 ford ranger. I replaced the 4wd transfer cased encoder. It was located right next to the transfer case. Hope this helps. http://www.buyautoparts.com/autoparts/Ford/Ranger/Transfer_Case_Encoder_Motor.html

When i put my 03 chevy 4x4 in 4 wheel drive there is a loud popping sound and 4wheel low truck wont move it a push button 4 wheel

you may have a broken transfer box or a damaged locking hub on the wheels that arent used in 4x4 mode, i.e. if your car is FWD unless its in 4-low, check the rear locking hubs for failure. Other wise it sounds like a transmission fault in the aforementioned transfer box or differential.

ENGINE LIGHT ON ATFER HAVING IT SERVICE & THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT

There are well over 100 problems in the electronics that turn the service engine soon light on, go to autozone or a kragen and they will run the trouble code test for free, then record that code and post it here. As far as the 4X4 goes that problem is most likely the electric motor that engages the 4X4 tranfer case, u will have to have that tested by either a 4X4 shop or the dealer, the dealer is the best option.
