I parked my 96 Explorer in 4WD low last night. It will not come out of
4WD low now. The switch is not disengaging it. It is 14 degrees outside.
Could that be the problem?

I would think so. I have, as several others have reported, had the worm
gear get really gummy stalling the motor. Others have used a shot of
WD40, I used 3in1 oil.
Lubricating the worm gear requires disassembly of the motor itself. To
reassemble, you will have to mess with the business of getting the brushes
back on the armature while ballancing the whole thing in a rather awkward
position. Recommend lots of patience. But I and others have done it.

The problem has corrected itself. I spun the wheels on some ice and it
disengaged. It made a grinding noise for a second and it has been fine
since. Lucky me I guess.
