Not sure that I can be much help but the first thing I would do is check the switch, wile the switch is out check for power at the connector (not sure if the switch passes +voltage or gives the - ).

I would check the transfer case for a solenoid that may be unplugged (is the TC enguaged by a solenoid?)

Sorry I could not be more helpfull, I am sure there are others that can help.

Mine has a shifter on the floor, so I don't know what yours is like, but on my last Chevrolet truck the 4wd would not work and it wound up being the button. The button module cost me around $80.

Just about have to have a scanner to diagnose it. There are several things that it could be. Mostly I see motor failures. Spend the money to have it diagnosed though. The motors aren't all that cheap that I'd just put one in.
