Two days ago, I used the 4WLow because I was driving uphill on loose gravel. I wasn't able to make it up the hil and reversed down. I put it in nuetral to shift to 4W-auto but it stayed in LOW. I tried driving it around a bit and it still wouldn't shift out. I checked the transfer case fluid level, which I just had serviced at mr.lube, it was cherry red with no metal bits. So I checked the electrical connections between the power supply and the shift motor, and they all looked brand new. Ive been driving it around town since I've been back from camping in 4WLow and I'd like to try to fix this myself. Any suggestions will be grately appreciated.

Are you getting power to the actuator on the transfer case?
