The front axle fails to engage. Last time four wheel worked the dash indicator(4wd) did not turn off when the floor shifter was disengaged. Now when floor shifter is engaged the drive line locks in but diff. Does not and dash light does not come on

See if encoder motor on tcase is getting power when it's shifted if it is then it's probably bad
