Does anyone know where the sensor or wire is that goes to the 4x4 switch that changes in into 4high and 4low... for some reason after taking it out of 4low the light wont go off... and now the spedo only goes to 20mph ... already checked the needle its not stuck

All this after i played in mud... got underneath and rinsed all the mud off i could see..
Think she dont like mud ..

Id really appreciate the help... i dont wanna mess anything up or make if worse.. thanks guys.

Did you try putting it back in 4L and backing up, sometimes they stick.
There should be a stack of wires going into the top of the case ...I think
I don't think it's your problem. But Good Luck and let us know what the problem was.

Could be a faulty selector switch telling the computer one thing and doing another

It is common also check the vacuum lines coming off the selenoid. Another thing is mine won't switch out or in 4lo unless in neutral but the indicater on the dash changes.

Finally figured it out... the lines were loose and mud was inside of them.. cleaned everything and putting electric wire lube on all wires...

Determined mud is not friendly ...
