My service 4WD light came on in my 2001 dodge durango.

The lights on the little knob switch thing are now not working, I attempted to get on freeway and it started smelling like melted plastic or burning gears. ... it drives fine in town as long as long as i dont go over 40-45 mph. Any ideas?

I would guess the brake fuse ( this does not use the same fuse as the tail lights/blinkers) or the ground for the brake light bulb.

SOURCE: How to activate 4wd hi/low on 2000 dodge durango slt

You need to get under the suv, there is a linkage under there that has 2 grommets. They dry rot and then fall out. Once that has happened the 2 pins that hold it together give way and the link is broken. If all you need are those 4 parts its $12 at the dealer. If you also need the adjustable metal linkage that joins the shifter to the transfer case you will have to order that too, sometimes it falls off when one end gets loose. It will swing around and hit the drive shaft and get yanked off. If you need more detail let me know.

You need to check the cv joints in the front end or the u joints in the front drive shaft.If none of the above then the problem is internal in the front diff.

Is there a video or illustrated instructions on how to service the 4wd on a 2001 dodge durango?

Google it if you want to do it yourself. Transmissions, differentials and transfer case oils aren't an overly complex affair, but it's a LOT easier to do from a lift, and you want to make sure you're draining and replacing the right fluids in the right holes. Your user's manual (or google) should be able to provide you with specs. If you don't understand those specs very clearly, do not attempt the service yourself. You'll probably still need someone to clear the code.

4 wheel will not engage on 2002 DODGE DURANGO

you will need to let the durango sit in the nuetral position without moving, then turn the knob from 2WD to 4WD. if that doesnt work, try putting the durango in reverse and then back to drive a couple times. you may have some mud/dirt/oil caked up under there interfering with the 4WD moving parts.
