4x4 not working, and clicking sound?
two weeks ago my 4x4 stopped working, turn the **** and no 4x4. read through the owners manual and checked fuses, replaced the blown 4x4 motor fuse, checked the fuses for the ***** and guages and all if fine and still no 4x4. something wrong with the on off ****? and i have this clicking sound coming from under the passenger side dash. this have something to do with it?
Check for voltage on both sides of the fuse and going into the motor would be my next step. Though if there's a clicking sound I'd suspect the switch is working. Maybe there's a relay or controller in the dash... I don't know much about 4x4 yet as mine hasn't broke.
(knock on wood) good luck

That clicking is the relay. Is it one click when you turn the ****, or a constant clicking noise? Could be the relay isn't latching, faulty relay or no current path ie. burnt fuse again? Check that fuse again, if it's burnt could be a sign of electrical problems.
Also check your ground, on the driverside fender. This grounds the GEM which in turn in used by that relay. I had the same thing happen to me, clicking under the dash, no 4x4, and even my windshield wipers didn't work. I cleaned that ground and it works again.
it's a constant clicking, where exactly is the ground on the fender, inside under the hood on the fender or visible from the wheel well? what do i look for, just a wire attached to metal maybe? i dont know much about electrical lol.

make sure you unplug your battery first!
