Kevin here, and I'm a newbie. I recently purchased my first 4x4, a 99 F250 with ESOF. Last night I had put it in 4high for a rough road turn-around and then flipped the switch back to 2H, the 4x4 light didn't go off. Then when I got to the house (about 1/2 mile), it rolled when put in park and now it won't go into any gear. Any suggestions? And thanks ahead of time.

 

The truck now shifts into all regular gears, but the 4x4 light is still on and it is not in 4-wheel and doesn't go in when the switch is turned.

 

Moved you here to get some help

 

Not sure from what you said. But I did this and it fixed mine.

 

Thanks Tim for your moving my post and many thanks to you VWOVW, I'll give it a try.

 

Also there is a motor on your tranny that switches from 2wd to 4wd. It is a small cylinder that is operated by your dash switch. I think there is like 3 bolts that it's connected to the tranny with. I took mine off and switched the dash from 2 to 4 wheel drive and it worked. But I put my fingers on it and it had no strength. Could be that.

 

I found my thread from 2011 that shows pictures.

The video that I posted was what I did when my shift lever just went limp. I also fixed the do dad that shows what gear I was in. I had been driving for a bit with it saying I was in park. The link to my thread is probably what your looking at. Everyone was saying something about corrosion but I found that it was the $150 motor. Dealer wanted $400 advanced auto had it for $150
