Kind of broad suggestions I know, but start with the stripped knob and eliminate that first. It has tripped up a few people before.
Hope its a simple fix and good luck!
Edit: it could just be that when they reinstalled the dash, the knob was installed wrong with the 4Lo switch engaged and the knob in the wrong position. If the vehicle is not stopped and in neutral, this would cause the warning lights.

I appreciate the suggestions guys, I brought it up with the tech and it sounds like he did a good bit of due diligence to try and find the issue. Apparently after the module under the dash was plugged back in the computer did a self test that showed the problem is in the actuator inside the tcase, basically saying it doesn't know whether it is in hi or lo. When they installed the tcase the computer hadn't done the self test so the issue never came up. So I either have to bypass (temporary?), or switch out actuator or tcase entirely.
