Does it stay in 4 wheel drive, or does it disengage to 2 wheel drive, but the light stays on. Two different problems there.

Easiest way to test this is go on some grass (preferably uphill) and give it a good amount of gas. 4x4 you will take off, 4x2 you won't really move.

You may have a bad connection, bad dash switch, bad motor, broken gear (causing it to go in but not come back with power) or a faulty 4x4 indicator switch. I'd start at the shift motor and work my way back up. Im betting on it being in the gear or the switch on the dash. Good luck.

I don't think it's going into 4x4 just the light comes on and doesn't go off
