Recently purchased a 2011 LX 570-love it! But, ...tried to switch it to 4lo and a blinking 4lo light comes on and the transfer case does not actuate. Yes, I followed the steps of neutral, then engage...nothing. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Any hacks or fixes?

Pretty common issue. Search for flashing 4lo or anything along those lines.

It should work after 5-10 attempts. You may have to do the same for the center diff lock.
