Transfer Case shifter stuck in 4H?

[Obus]

I have a 2021 Wrangler JL e-Torque with auto transmission, and I cannot move the Transfer Case shifter. Does e-Torque have anything to do with this transfer case shifting?

No, I dont think so. Which transfer case do you have; Command-Trac or Rock-Trac?

Is the shifter moving at all? Any warning lights on the dash? have you gotten underneath to see if the front driveshaft spins freely? Can you move the linkage from underneath?

Need more details here.

The shifter will not move at all. But I pulled on the stick while a friend pushed on the rod to the case it went into 4h and the dash confirmed 4h. When I moved the shifter back to 2h is went back to 2h easily.

E-Torque should not have anything to do with it.

Can you drive? Forward or reverse while still locked into 4-HI?

How are you trying to disengage it? Are you moving or stationary?

Can you shift into neutral and depress the brake and try that method?

More details as to what you've tried may help.

If it is shifting from moving the bottom linkage but not the actual stick you likely have a break in the cable. Take the trim piece off and check the linkage up top.

The Jeep was on a lift when we got it to shift and believe the front wheel turned. I will try the neutral, brake method again. Thanks for the help.

Are you moving when trying to shift into 4H? Try rolling forward slowly and pulling on the shifter. Sometimes it takes a little movement for the gears to mesh

Yep ^^^ and that's especially true when shifting in/out of 4 Low. Gotta' be moving at 2 to 3 MPH when you make the shift or you will risk breaking the linkage.
