    Was sitting in my truck for a bit, accidentally turned on my 4x4 trying to turn on the ac. Anyways it turned on and never turned off, and I messed w some thing seeeing what else was wrong and the diff lock button won’t even give power so I’m wonder if it’s a fuse or something else? Is there a fuse that powers both the 4x4 and diff lock?

    diff lock only works in 4lo, so that's probably not an issue

    have you tried driving the truck? It needs to roll to engage / disengage the 4x4. Just like 1-2ft to turn the axels and it should go back to 2x4 (if you've got the button on 2H)

    Not the most solid kickoff... call it a mulligan.
    :D

    At least it did not cause a 50-page train wreck. (Although those can be fun... on occasion.)

    - while I am here, I should clarify that the probability that this might STILL become a 50 page train wreck is significantly greater than zero.

    Welcome to TW. :thumbsup:
