On four wheel drives turning is a real indication when four wheel is still on...4wheel is a bit more sluggish on turns. But, im a bit old school and am thinking trucks since nothing is listed. Most electric transfer cases have an actuator than engages an disengages electronically, but sometimes they get sticky and require a love tap or driving in reverse to disengage the actuator... you could also suspend the vehicle in the air and engage an disengage a see what is happening too.
Best way to fix it is to lift one side of the car using a jack. Get front and back wheels off the ground. Then put the car into neutral and out of four wheel drive into 2 wheel high ratio. Start the car and rev it up to about 3000rpm for a short while. It should then release the four wheel drive.
It gets stuck mainly because of transmission wind up. Ie tension in the transmission.
This happens on these two to four wheel drive units, you need to get it to a garage that knows how to unlock or disengage the four wheel drive , doing this on your own will cause more damage.
{: ) If your vehicle has an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) feature, engine power is sent to all 4 wheels all the time. This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no separate lever or switch to engage or disengage the front axle. It is fully automatic, and adjusts ityself as needed for road conditions.
If Jeep is equip with push button 4x4 try this.
If you are stuck in four wheel drive disengage four wheel try backing it up 10ft to re aline transfercase gears.( Also linkage under truck maybe stuck.)
If Jeep is equip with lever on floor. This one is a common problem lever on floor becomes stuck and won't let you disengage it. Have to Spray linkage with WD-40 or some kind of penetrating spray under truck where the linkage comes out of the floorand goes to the transfercase.
(Floor lever, Its tuff to get it to release I know I went through the same problem on my truck I had push it into 2wheel by using my leg.)
