Default Anyone's 4WD low switch get stuck?

Ok so I was pulling out some small brush stumps and I was using 4WD low. When I tried to get back into 2WD it would have none of it.
I went through each position and still it was stuck in LOW. I backed up, went forward, hit neutral button, all several times. when I put it into 2WD the 4WD low light would come on and blink. Not on steady, but blink. I tried turning off the truck and restarting, but it stayed in 4WD LOW. Finally I put the transmission into neutral and went through the various positions again and it finally went into 2WD.
Just wondering if anyone else had that problem?

To Transfer from 4X4 high to 4X4 low, you have to put your truck in nuteral then turn your switch for 4X4 low to occur. Same goes for going from 4X4 low to 4X4 high. It's in your owners manual. The light blinking at you is telling you that your are still in 4X4 low and didn't follow the correct instructions to remove it from 4X4 low.

the neutral button is for disengaging the axles from the drivetrain for towing

Yeah thanks, but #1, I did that and #2 I know that. I have owned Dodge pickups all my life. I tried eveything, including looking at the manual in case I had done something wrong. Didn't. Well, it is all good now.

But thanks.....
