2003 F250 Lariat 7.3L Diesel 4WD stuck in Low 4WD

My 2003 F250 is stuck in Low 4WD all the time. Cannot get it to go back into 2WD or even High 4WD, 3 position switch has no impact in any position. I've tried all the normal procedures like backing up, etc. Where do I start to try find out where the problem is?

with electric shift 4X4, it could be a bad switch, bad fuse, bad shift motor, bad wiring, or bad computer to name a few things.
most often it is a bad motor.

Look in the owners manual or the fuse panels. The cover will identify them, should anyways.
