The transmission is stuck in 4 wheel-lo. Putting the switch to 4 wheel high, or 2 wheel drive causes the corresponding light to blink, but the transmission will not switch out of Low. The 4-lo light also remains on.
Just to clarify, the "transmission" is not stuck in 4-Lo. It is the "transfer case" that is attached to the transmission that actually engages the 4-Hi and 4-Lo modes. To properly shift your vehicle into 4-Lo, you know that you have to shift the transmission into neutral and slow down to less than 5 mph. Once your vehicle slows down to this range, your can switch your transfer case into 4-Lo mode. Due to the inner workings of the transfer case, the actual shift into 4-Lo may take a few seconds to complete. This is normal and does not signify that there is an issue. All transfer cases that have 4-Lo mode will act this way regardless of the make or model. To make a long story short, to shift out of 4-Lo you must follow the same steps that you took to shift into 4-Lo, just in reverse order. Switch the transfer case to 4-Lo mode if it isn't already there. Slow down to less than 5 mph (your vehicle must be moving, though). Then, shift your car into 4-Hi or 2WD. Give your vehicle several seconds to complete the shift. The transfer case indicator light will flash until it is complete. When it does complete the shift into the new gear mode, you will most likely hear a "clunk" (the range sleeve inside the transfer case disengages from its mating spline) from under your car. Again, any transfer case with 4-Lo (regardless of make or model) will exhibit this same noise. This should help you get out of 4-Lo. It is good practice to shift your car into and out of 4-Lo at least a few times each year to keep all of the splines free of corrosion and build-up. Based on the age of your vehicle, your transfer case may also need a complete flush and some new transmission fluid. Hope this helps.
Tried literally everything else this is what worked thank you so much

Once you realize that Dodge products are basically made from the
equvalent of cardboard, popsicle sticks, and chewing gum, (and
low quality cardboard, popsicle sticks, and chewing gum), its easy
to understand why there are so many problems with their cars.
I had the same problem with the transmission. Get rid of the car
NOW! The only parts more poorly engineered than the transmission
are the steering linkage, the brake system, the electronics, the
environmental controls, and the drive chain. They do have great
cup holders though! Gee, I wonder why they are on the verge
of bankruptcy.
Poor attitude old man, it's just your opinion and you've had a bad day!
