Service 4wd light and a light to the right that looks like traction control is on . Because of this i have to press the brake pedal in order to shift from park . The cruise won't work either while the light is on which is 99 percent of the time. 4wd high still works but not in low. Any ideas of what it may be would be appreciated. The dealer is a last resort cause i like to fix my own . 2012 ram 1500 5.7

get a scanner and read the codes first
you will always need to apply the breaks to shift from park- it's a safety feature

If the warning lights are on, there are trouble codes in the system. Without checking those, everything will just be a guess

Like already mentioned above, get a scan tool to read the codes stored in the ECM. If you don't have one or don't want to buy one, go to your local auto parts store. They wI'll usually check codes for free
