Default T-Case stuck in 4 wheel low

Hey All,
I'm new to thses forums and I have 06 H3. I did some searching but couldn't find anything regarding this.

I did some wheeling today and engaged 4 low, and now it wont shift out of 4 low. I have used 4 low in the past and had no problems going back to 4 high. I have tried everything and it simply wont shift out of 4 low. The light never blinks when I push the button. I spent arounf 45 min trying everything with no success.

The car is stuck in vail at the moment so any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

did you try going in reverse about 5-10 mph while turning left and right...this should kick her out of 4-low. If not, try going under and unplugging the plugs on the t-case.....clean em out then plug it back in. This connector has given people problems in the past.

That's good advice. One thing is that there is no feedback if I push the buttons. They never blink or anything when I push them. I'll do what you mentioned because I did go through some water and mud after going into 4 low. Thanks again.

I know this may be the obvious but I will ask anyway. Are you putting it in neutral before putting it in low lock?? It needs to be in neutral.

I vote TCase plug fart, might have got gerdoo in the connection, or loose. The switches can go as well? Any luck funkDoc?? ?????
