4X4 low range button

[Jim D]

Hey All-
My 92 xlt 4 door is running great. Smowed up here again, I threw the 4x4 auto on, it engaged, but tried to put it in low range, no go, the 4x4 h works but no 4x4 low...should I be worried, what do I look for?
Respectfully..

You know you need to put it into nuetral before going to 4 low right? other than that no idea...good luck.

Did the light flash?

When you hit the low range button, did the light flash? If so, it would indicate that it was trying to go into low range, but that you did not have in neutral. If not, then maybe the button has gone bad.

On my 91 neither button worked until I sprayed WD40 into the buttons and worked them repeatedly. 4wd Hi and Lo now work great.

In addition to being in neutral (park isn't good enough for the t-case computer), you have to be stopped with your foot on the brake.
If you're doing it right, then a sticky shift motor can do that. Search for shift motor cleaning or something to that effect and you should find all you need to know.

Thanks everyone...Firstly i was never in neutral. I was stopped in drive. Oh God. I hope that wasn't a killer. I'll try nuetral and if all else fails I love the smell of wd40.
thanks fellas.
