I've tried putting it in while in 4Lo, but the light on my dash just blinks, is there a sensor or anything on the axle or any parts that need to be replaced?

I've heard that if its been a long time since three locker has been engaged it can stick. Some find the solution is going into 4lo and push the locker button and drive a several feet forward and then several feet backward, do this a bunch if times and this should get it to lock. Good luck!
