Stuck 4WD
Recently had this problem on my 2000 limited with m/mode.
Stuck blinking, locked and binding in tight turns.
Daughter had to drive it this way for a few days. I hoped it would reset itself. No luck there.
Researched the sensors, and set to remove them and check for continuity.
Was surprised both sensors initially checked out as good. While having them out, I exercised them several times, cleaned and lubricated, then replaced them. Truck disengaged immediately upon starting.
Took time to drive around switching in and out of m/mode several times and all is well. Works perfectly now.
If it ever sticks again, I will just order and replace both sensors. Shouldn’t though with monthly activation per owners manual.
Total costs was $0 spent, some time on my back, and better understanding of my rig for when it might happen again in the future. With a 27mm socket this is a snap. Good luck.
