4 low not engaging

I have a 06, 4cyl, 5spd . I bought it a few weeks ago and I cannot get 4 low to lock in , I can switch to 4 hi no problem,and it works great , but when I go to 4 low it just flashes the light and beeps .. I've done just as it says and stopped in neutral, clutch depressed, any ideas ? Thank you

 

Are you going from 4hi then into 4lo while at a complete stop?
Vs. 2wd straight to 4lo

 

Yes I am , tried numerous times and nothing but beeping and flashing

 

Try putting it in neutral then switch it

 

I put it in neutral every time

 

Make sure you push the clutch in all the way and that your floor mat isn't getting in the way.

 

Does it lock in once you put it into gear?

 

Since it goes into 4 hi no prob , I tried driving it a few miles then stopping , going into neutral and switching to 4 Lo hoping that would help but same issue

 

No it doesn't, tried that too

 

Stop, switch to 4lo and go forward and reverse..

 

Tried that too , I've tried bout every damn thing I could think , haha , missing the manual shift on my old 95

 

Try and Google your problem. I'm sure this issue has happened a bunch of times. Hope you figure it out.

 

put in 4hi be sure it is in

put in neutral

shut down engine

start it back up

now try it

 

I'll give that a shot tonight , thank u

 

Yep I have the brake on the whole time , clutch to the floor and yes 4 high is locked it

 

This is why when I did my 4wd conversion, I designed up a relay circuit to handle shifting the t-case. The control board on these seem to have a lot of funky issues. Hope you figure it out. It's pretty easy to take the cover of the actuator and manually spin it into 4-low. Might try that to make sure it's not getting stuck for some reason.

 

Could be your ADD. @FrustrationFabTaco had the same issue...you figure it out yet?

 

Sounds like a bad actuator on the tcase. Put it into 2wd and pull the actuator off. Pull shift rail out two clicks for 4lo and see if that works. If not it may be a jammed or bent shift rod

 

I'll try messing with the actuator tomorrow, dark when I got home tonight , thank you everyone for the help and suggestions

 

Well after a bunch of tries I got it into 4 low , which I know it hasn't been used by the previous owner for years so maybe just gummed up ? Having a hard time coming out of 4 low now
