I changed from high too low and now cant get it back too high, how can i do this
SOURCE: stuck in 4x4 low range
My wife just recently had a similar problem. She got stuck in the mud and put our 2004 F150 in 4x4 Low to get out. She didn't. Had to have AAA pull her out. She then left a bit later and the truck was still in 4x4 Low even after switching to 2WD. She even tried going backwards to get it to switch. So she called me frantically because the car would not go over 10 mph w/o the RPMs getting way too high. I said I'd call her back. So I called our local Ford Repair shop and he gave me these instructions (loosely based on what the owner's manual says to do) 1. Start Vehicle 2. Switch to 4x4 Low 3. Put in Neutral 4. Switch to 4x4 High 5. Go in Reverse for a bit and then Forward a bit again (You should now be in 4x4 High) 6. Put in Neutral 7. Switch to 2WD You should now be good. If that didn't work, then try repeating step 5 after step 7. Which reminds me. I really should call her back :) (It worked)

Hi
Thank You for using FixYa. Kindly follow
the instructions: Put the truck in neutral, have your foot on the brake, switch
it out of 4LO and wait up to 10 seconds or so. If this doesn't work, put it in
drive or reverse, move a foot or two, then put it back into neutral and try
again. I bet it will work. If you're not in neutral, the drive train is still
being torque by the engine. If your foot isn't on the brake, I think it
electrically prevents the switch out of 4 LO from happening. If it is stuck in,
I might suggest you've got gearbox windup. Jacking up a front wheel might let
it come undone.
If the actuator still sticks, I think there's an override on the transfer case.
It has a dial with positions. You'll need a 1/2" Ratchet to work it.
Please do rate the solution if the
issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks
