Vehicle must be stopped, engine must be running, transmission must be in neutral, and foot must be on the brake pedal to switch in or out of 4-Lo.

If you are using the procedure above and it still is stuck, your actuation motor is probably bad. here is what it looks like:
2000 FORD EXCURSION Motor

You should be able to get under the X and do it by hand, can't you guys?

FWIW, I had a GEM (General Electronic Module) go bad on my old '01 Limited X ... horn & cruise control became inoperable. Funny thing is that the horn would blow with the engine off, but not running. Electronic gizmos ... love 'em AND hate 'em. Good luck getting yours fixed.
