Is it really staying in 4wd or is just the light staying on? Sometimes the TC will stay locked until the front axel has NO load or resistance. Best way is to shift from 4hi to 2hi while coasting on flat ground or when stopped, sometimes backing-up a few feet helps. You might try pulling handle back to N, coasting a few feet and the shifting straight to 2hi.
