4x4 not working

Ok all!

I made a big mistake, I was cleaning out my truck and accidentally switched my 4 wheel drive to the 4 low position. Not knowing this I started the truck and just drove it all day. Then I noticed my mistake and now the truck will not shift into either 4 high or 4 low! so can anyone out there tell me what I've done?

The truck drives just fine, I feel no pull when I turn to the left or right so it seems that it never did any shifting into 4 high or 4 low, so I'm looking for recommendations on maybe how to fix

4 low

First the obvious. You have to stop, put it in neutral, and then shift out of 4 low. It would be pretty noticeable on pavement if you were still in 4 wheel drive, especially low range. Is it possible it is not actually in 4 wheel drive, and the switch indicator light is simply not working?

You didn't notice you could only go 20-25 MPH with the throttle to the floor?
