    Hey guys, I got some new climate control knobs for my 2009 Sport and was installing them when I put on the new knob on the 4wd knob and turned it while the truck was off and parked. Now I can't turn the knob out of 4 low and when I try and turn on the truck and get out of 4wd the 4 low light just beeps. I can put the truck in drive and reverse and it seems to roll so I think that the 4 low has not engaged but I can't get the knob out of the 4 low locked position. Any and all help is appreciated!!

    Try, start the truck. Put it in neutral. Then try to take it out of 4low.

    Update: All is well now with the truck, I ended up backing the truck up in reverse and then putting it in neutral and turning the knob slightly more aggressively than usual and got it out of 4 low and back into high 2. Thanks!

    Try pressing in or pull out a slightly on the switch next time.

    At least you got it out of 4WD:thumbsup:
