    I have replaced the 4WD ECU located on the passenger side floor kick panel. 4WD Hi works, 4WD Lo works if you hold in the switch in but the switch will not stay in? Anyone had experience with this problem/resolve?

    The switch is not supposed to stay pushed in for 4lo only 4hi. Put truck in 4hi then put in neutral then push 4lo. Not sure what controls the 4lo switch to make it work in that way. Could be some sort of relay not working if it's just turning back off when you let go of the button.
    Did it work before you replaced the 4wd ecu? What was the reason for replacing the 4wd ecu?

    This is likely the correct answer.

    Most people don't RTFM and fail to realize you must be in neutral for LO. If I'm wrong and you're doing this, my apologies.

    While in Neutral 4wd Lo will work until you release the 4wd Lo button? Then in will not stay in Low?
