Just bought the vehicle listed above. The dash indicator lights it do not light up at all neither does the lights on the buttons. So how do I know if I am in four wheel drive or is there a fuse possibly out?

Go ahead and check the fuses. The fuse box is located behind a cover on the dash to the left of the steering column. In particular, check fuse F in the image attached below.

Thank you! I forgot to specify that it is the lights on the four wheel drive display and lights on the buttons to switch to and from four wheel drive. I pushed the buttons but with no four wheel drive indicator lights showing. I am not sure if I am driving in four wheel drive all the time.

Well hopefully checking the fuses will fix the problem, and you will not have to worry about it. But generally speaking, you will know when you are in four wheel drive because of how it will drive when you turn at low speeds on dry pavement. The axles will bind up when you turn at low speeds until one of the tires slips, and then it starts over. This is bad for vehicle, by the way, so do not drive it in four wheel drive on dry pavement.
