I have a 2000 Jimmy,that wants to keep jumping into 4-lo,when it goes into 4-lo its very hard to get into 2-hi,I have to push bottons repeadily to get it to change, then when it does it wants to go right back into 4-lo, then the shit lever sometimes will not come out of park, the service 4 wd idiot light came on only 1 time while i was driving,and that was after i had the problem any ideas????

3 or 4 button switch?

After having 4wd problems with one of the vehicles I was working on and looking up info, the switches do go bad and it seems common. If you do some searching you'll find a testing procedure for the 4wd switches. Kind of vague with the numbers but if you have two side by side the numbers should be identical.

the switches love to fail and stop working or work halfway.

when i bought my 4x4 2000 jimmy, the light stayed on, shortly after buying it, the light went off, but i never noticed till awhile back.. i have to slap the switch multiple times till it lights up then i can switch.
