I have a turn dial four wheel drive switch with automatic locking hubs. when I turn the knob to 4 high nothing happens and after about a minute the 4 high and 4 low lights on the dash blink a few times then go off but it still does not engage. What do you think it could be.

try tapping on the transfer cdase shift motor. its a electric motor that fails and you can usually get it to work by tapping on it with a hammer. they have just made a aftermarket motor for it for about 100 bucks for this truck i think its made by dorman
