4x4 light blinking and not engaging

[Catfish]

i woke up this morning and drove my truck, it was fine and i wake up again and decide to.ger a haircut.. I noticed the 4x4 light is blinking and I go to engage it in Park to 4Hi and it wont shift over. then i pop into N and go to 4lo and wont go either.. I have a 3500 miles to drive..


has anyone ever experienced this?

I hope its simpler than that.... If i can drive it down to ca, then i'll replace it there at the local dealership.

Only thing I can think out that you haven't already tried would be disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and see if something resets. Not saying there's any science to that but maybe it'll work lol

In thick New Dehli accent, "Sir, did you try turning it off, waiting 30 seconds, and turning it back on again?"

Sounds about right. Toyota's been having problems with those actuators since 2006 but they continue to use the same ones anyways, lol... Just like the needle bearings, door seals, blah blah.
