00 EB Expedition stuck in 4low w/4x4 light flashing

Put my truck in 4x4 hi and reversed going uphill in loose gravel to hook up my trailer.
Drove back down to the street, put it back in A4WD and shut it down.
30 minutes later I drove off. Heard a whining and saw my Speedo read WAY faster than what I was going and felt the gears shifting quickly.
Looked up and my 4x4 light is flashing. Tried switching through all 3 modes and only heard clicking behind the dash in 4hi once.
Brought it back home after going around the block.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed it!
pulled out the relay and TOD relay cleaned and put dielectric grease ok them. And used a hammer to bang on the transfer case motor. Everything works as it should now.

Hopefully this could help someone else out.

Kinda weird to answer my own post. Lol

Usually to shift in and out of 4lo, you have to be stopped, foot on the brake, and in neutral.

Doesn’t explain how yours got into 4lo by itself, of course.

A4wd

What I ended up doing was pulling the relay and module from under the dash behind the radio on the top (you have to take off the dash board to get to them). I tapped on them, put some dielectric grease on the contacts and reinstalled them. I think I disconnected the battery too but I can’t remember.
After that I started to hear a clicking sound from that module relay thingy and everything was fine.
I hope this helps you.
