Question:

Needs to be in neutral, not park…… the module looks for three conditions to engage or disengage 4X4LOW…. neutral, brake applied and "0"mph. In park, there ‘may’ be force applied to the thrust faces of the shift drims and sliders and/or, the vehicle might ‘run away’ as it passes through neutral in the transfer case…. ergo, there will be no attempt at this particular shift by the module. — Jim Warman

Response:

I am driving my husband’s 2000 Explorer today.  I pulled out of a parking spot and it went into 4WD low and I can’t seem to figure out how to get it out.  I realized the knob was on 4WD low and should have been on Auto–I think my daughter may have been playing with it. Someone suggested to turn it back to auto and that I need to back up 50 feet or more to get it out of 4WD.  I have already dropped it at the garage because I got nervous and I know you are not supposed to drive it around in gear like that.  Any other suggestions?
