I can't get my 1988 pickup out of 4wd

Hello all,

So I need some help. I got a 1988 Toyota pickup 4wd when I moved to Colorado from Florida for the snow. It was snowing last night. So I wanted to put it 4wd for the morning. I turned the lugs, and then put in 4 high and the light came on.

This morning as I was driving I realized that it was just water and didn’t need 4wd. So I went to a parking lot and turned the lugs and couldn’t get it out of 4wd drive. The light would not come off and when I was drive it was grinding

So when I want to change it from 4wd…Should I put the transfer case from four high to neutral then change the lugs and then put it at 2 high?

That sounds about right. There's strain on the axles while in gear, so go to neutral on the shifter and 4wd, (chock the wheels) and try turning it then.
