There is a lot of problems with the shift motors on these. It is on the side of the transfer case but would bring it to a shop to insure you don't waste your money.

Replaced 4wd switch on dash but still wont engage into 4wd, light on swith just blinks and goes back to 2wd. Could it be actuator or transfer case motor?

The most likely cause is the mode switch. The one with the buttons to select 2wd or 4wd. I;d put money on it. Had to replace the same thing in my own truck.

Yes when I put it into four wheel drive the light on my dash works. I think it is something in the case because everything else is working properly

You will need to have it checked for trouble codes in the transfer case control module.

I can't tell you for sure. I can tell you that a Tech2 scanner will work.

Are you getting power to the 4wd actuator on the transfer case?
