4lo light blinking won't come out

2010 tacoma TRD sport ... Had her in 4h then stopped put her in 4lo and it started to blink and won't come out of 4 lo now I tryed all the tips every one had posted none of them worked do any one know what it could be ? I checked the two fuses all the plugs wires under her I don't really know we're could be any other pugs or wires I can check or any thing else I can try my self befor I bring it to a garage ?

 

The 4WD computer is behind the glove box. You could check there to see if there's something obvious.

Does it beep or just flash at you?

Mine has no issues going into or out of 4LO as long as I'm stopped and in neutral.

 

It's just flashing no beeping i did stop and put her in neutral soon as I turnd the switch to to put her in 4lo it just started flashing no beeps or nothing and now won't come out of 4lo had to drive 30 km to get home doing 20 kmh not fun at all

 

Does the regular 4wd light stay lite solid? have you tried to put it in reverse and move slightly to get it out of 4 lo? I gotta do that shit sometimes.

 

The regular light is flashing wit the 4 low light

 

If truck is actually in 4hi, turn knob to 4hi, turn off truck and restart truck. Hopefully it thinks that is correct and 4wd light stops blinking. Then shift out of 4wd.

 

It's in 4 low and won't go to 4h or 2wd

 

Probably an actuator issue? There's a few threads somewhere about rebuilding/repairing/cleaning the actuators

 

Are you sure? Can you feel the lower gearing? If 4lo was flashing that means it never actually entered 4lo.

 

Positive it in 4low. i can feel the lower gearing I drove 30 km to get home only doing 20kmh

 

Ouch. I would put the switch in 4lo, turn truck off, turn it on, do 4wd and 4lo still blink?

 

Yes I was trying every thing for the past 4 hours I don't know if cold will fool with it any bit but it's -26 here to but I went and put her I'm my Garage for the day with the heat on but still doing the same thing

 

How do you haul it off I tryed to take him off but seems to be stuck in with a c clip on the in side of transfer case or some thing and I don't got a jack or any thing eather so I'm just lying under neathe her on a concert floor is there a trick to pop it off ? I was talking to Toyota yesterday and they told me to be able to take the back actuator off you have to split the transfer case ? But I'm not 100% sure

 

Just a suggest.
Try disconnecting the battery, turn on lights and touch unconnected batt cables together to drain any residual.
Turn switch to 2wd, then reconnect battery.

Space heater in the garage to warm it up?

If nothing else you can drop the front drive shat.
Still be in 2Low, but more steerable to get to a garage.

 

No that never worked either

 

It was all warm to the touch yesterday because I drove for two hours home with her stuck in 4lo and then left the the truck running for a half hour in neutral in the garage just to make sure any thing wasn't froze
