Default 1995 Grand will not unlock front wheels

I have a 95 Grand Cherokee and the front hubs will not disinguage.
I have the select track trans case. The light goes off and the unit does go into 2WD but i can still feel the front hubs are locked. I have tried backing up for a long distance,tire pressure is all good. Ant ideas?

You don't have locking hubs, the axle shafts and front drive shaft will always turn as the vehicle moves.

My 97 select trac does the same thing. Something in transfer case not releasing, Reverse usually works or just forget it and drive it, At some point mine releases. Mine has 170k on it, gotta expect that !!

I had this happen when test driving the jeep that I now own and learned that you have to be moving at least a few mph to fully disengage
