What happens when I press 4HI from 4Lo?
Whne I press 4Hi nothing happens. I have to be in Neutral to get it to do anything.

For 4Lo the transfer case has an encoder motor that is on the transfer case that engages a lower gear when you stop, put trans in neutral and push 4 lo and a clunk is heard. Again a sensor on the transfer case to tell TCCM it is engaged. Hope that wasn’t too confusing.
