No, that is abnormal.
Was the unit powered off at the time? If not try when battery is unplugged.

I looked up the owners manual for your truck and it does have a lower switch. I have never tried using the emergency lower while the truck was requesting a lower command, there is a possibility you are correct and the lower switch is stuck causing the solenoid to remain engaged which may make the **** difficult to use this is why I'm now asking to try with no power connected.
