Do you have a manual shift 4 wheel drive system, or do you have the little **** on the dash that you twist? When you do try to shift to 4L, what procedure are you following? Are you stopped? Is the transmission in N or P?

You have to be in neutral to engage 4x4 low.

Could be a relay under the hood by the fuse box. Also your foot needs to be on the brake peddle for it to shift.
