My truck is stuck in 4x4 low range. the lights for the 4x4 came off and now it will not come out of low range. recently put a new transmition in. any ideas?
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 and 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.
Hope that helps, as it worked for us.

i can take it out of 4wd so just the back tires spin by taking the lock outs out but it still acts like it is in 4 low
Hmm, what do you mean it acts like its in 4lo? Do you mean the driving, or the shifter?
1. is the shifter stuck or loose?
2. are the hubs locked?
