Default 1999 Blazer 4WD problem

I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer that is equipped with 4 button push-button 4WD. In the 2 years that I have owned it I have never had a single problem with the 4WD. One day I started the car up and was driving along when the service 4WD light came on, all of the 4WD push-button lights illuminated, and I heard a clicking on the passenger side that sounded like aa turn signal. So I pulled into a parking lot and and tried shifting into 4HI and it would not shift. So after i got home I tried taking the battery out for 15 min. to reset everything. I started the car up again and I could shift it into 4HI and 4LO. But it got stuck in 4LO and would not shift out even when stopped in nuetral. I would press the 2HI button and it would blink for a while and not shift. So I took the battery out for 15 min. again. When I started it again I was able to shift back into 2HI. I am afraid to try the 4WD again for fear of getting it stuck. Can anyone help me?

Please Help!

Did the Service 4WD light come on as well ??

Either way, take it to a transmission shop and have them pull the Codes. You may just have a BAD controller (on the dash) switch like mine did.
