even though the indicator on the switch did the usual "blinky-blink" when switching to 2wd. I noticed it because I was in 4wd going through snow on the property and switched to 2wd once i was out on the pavement. It was very obvious it hadn't gone out of 4wd as soon as I tried turning the wheel and felt the front tires hopping against the dry pavement.
Even after switching back to 4wd and back to 2wd the condition remained. Backing up did nothing to release it. What I finally did was switch to AWD, drove for about 50 feet and then switched into 2wd. While my front wheels are now working smoothly on the pavement I am still concerned about this. for all I know the system is still stuck in AWD.
Per the former owners suggestion I have NEVER switched the selector while moving. I have always done it from a dead stop.
So now I am wondering what repairs I am looking forward to? I haven't had the need to switch back into 4wd and will avoid it if at all possible until this is resolved.
