How to fix low drive on my Ford F150 if the 4WD knob is broken?

I got stuck in a ditch today and I got using 4L. The knob to select it was broken when i tried to turn it to 4L, I looked in my truck and found pliers which I used to turn it. When I pulled out of the ditch I used the pliers to turn it but it wouldn't move. My friend gave it a try and he turned it but the dash lights flickered then went off and it said we were still in 4L then the "low drive" light lit up. How do i fix it?

You probably busted something up further than the knob, a sensor that goes to the light? Pulling the whole thing to check isn't going to be fun but about all I can think of. Good Luck. Try FTE dot com or F150 forums dot com, for shortcuts. Lots of exper owners on those sites… Although enough guessers also, Be careful!

  • How much does it cost to fix a broken tail light cover? I accidentally backed up into a light pole and cracked the bottom half of my passenger side tail light. I drive a 2011 jeep liberty and i got it from a ford dealership. I pay for the insurance where if anything goes wrong with my car i can bring it in and they fix it for free but i'm not sure if that applies for a broken tail light? So if it doesn't, how much does it cost to get a new cover?
