Something is not connected correctly. Unplug and try again.

How are you trying to engage 4wd. 1. you can not go from 2hi to 4low directly. You must go from 2hi to 4hi (usually easiest while rolling). Let it fully engage (no flashing) then come to a stop and put it in neutral for 4low.

Is it a manual? You have to press the clutch ALL THE WAY to the ground. Not, just-kinda in!
