Not going into drive after putting into 4wd

I just bought a 2001 toyota tacoma trd and i clicked the 4x4 button on the transfer case shifter and then clicked it in again to turn it off and now the truck doesn’t go into drive like the brake is on or something i probably sound pretty stupid but i didn’t want to mess with anything else any advice for my problem?

 

Does it shift into drive and not move forward, or will it not shift into drive at all?
Something similar occurred in my 2nd gen; it fixed itself when I shifted in reverse, then drive. Hope it works for you.

 

Is the 4WD shifter in L4 or H?

 

Stop playing with it. Your gonna break it.

 

thanks mate i should have thought about that when i was trying to learn about it i’ll remember next time

 

What was the fix?

 

This happened to me when i first was learning about 4wd. So basically you are either putting it the 4wd in neutral and then doing a shift to drive? if so put the 4wd shift to H and make sure 4wd button is off(4wd light will turn off). Then you should be back to normal.

 

yea i just had it in the wrong gear lol im still figuring it all out i appreciate the help

 

This is on the driver sun visor fyi.

 

Yep, it would be if it wasn't tossed along the way.
