Default 4x4 Low not engaging

What’s up fellas, I'm having an issue with my 4x4 low not engaging..

4x4 Hi engages, as well as 4x4 auto

But when I put it in (N)eutral, press 4x4 low, it blinks for about 45 seconds, then lights back up the 2wd button.. Never engages.


Any suggestions where to start?

Encoder, they are year specific. Something like 97-02 and 03+

they are bad about the fork for low wearing out and wont engage any more. Check the fluid and if burnt the fork could be gone. I build them for a living seen this a lot. That or bearing has walked in the case
