Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

4wd and abs problem

in Chevrolet
I have a 95 suburban K1500 4wd with 182,000 miles on it. I went to trade it in recently and dealer didn't want to give me much for it because abs light was on (I knew this) and 4wd didn't work (I didn't know this). I thought the 4wd problem might be the actuator but on replacement, it still didn't work. I then found that when 4wd lever is engaged, no lights came on inside vehicle indicating it was on, but one line to actuator did become hot. I then started thinking that the abs problem could cause the 4wd to not work. Is that possible? I noticed that there is a wire to 4wd from abs.
I then found out that the ABS codes were 26, 27, 12, 25, and 68. 25, 26, and 27 codes indicated left front wheel sensor. 12 indicated 2wd without brakes applied and 68 indicated motor connector. Any suggestions on this?

I'd replace that, then clear all the codes and see what pops up next.
Those problems are obvious deal killers, but I wouldn't expect much anyhow on a sale....so you need to be careful just how much you put into it to fix up. That's high miles, on an old large SUV, with high gas prices and low mpg. That market is VERY soft.
I just traded a 97 Sub for a 2007 Sub, but much less miles and mint condition. Even then, some dealers didn't want it on their lot (don't blame them with a 10 year old boat), and they would just wholesale it out. Found one dealer in a different market area which had a different clientale in that geography, and they were interested to deal.
I think you are going to have to work it a while to get what you think is a fair price.
026 is sensor circuit open of speed signal missing, 027 is left front signal erratic.
The sensor should have a resistance, that changes with temperature. At -40 to 40F, should be 1575 to 2950 ohms. Above 40F should be 1980 to 3450 ohms. If you have the correct resistance, wiggle the wire to see if you loose the resistance.
Thank you,
