Do you have the electronic shift 4wd? Is so, have you checked to see if the actuator is getting power on the transfer case?

Please don't worry about that. We are here to help. As far as the 4wd, there is a 4wd actuator on the transfer case. When you turn the knob, it sends power to the actuator. I need to know if you are getting power to that part when the knob is turned. It is not uncommon for them to go bad.
