[Warren 86 ranger]

In newer trucks, 4HI to 4Lo change requires brake and clutch pedals pressed. Is it this way in yours? Has 4Lo ever worked in your truck? If it did, what changed?

i have a b2 with the 2.9/5spd/electric hubs and tcase and mine did that this past year in the snow storms we had, good thing i didnt need 4L, my solution was to just buy a manual tcase for $100. the shift motor on those things wear out after a while. a new one is ~$100 depending on where you look

Go to the tech library and find the write up on cleaning the shift motor, it takes about twenty minutes. I had this problem and fixed mine in an instant.

A blinking Low Range light means the system is waiting for an input from the neutral/clutch pedal switch and/or brake lamp switch to confirm it's safe to make the shift. I'd start with checking those circuits and their sensors if it's not working.
