Mine and my friends had the no light no engage syndrome, A few taps with a mallet on the 4x4 transfer case electric motor and they've been fine ever since.

It could very well possibly be that the IWE solenoid causes the same symptoms. Im just saying he should try tapping on the TC motor. Couldn't hurt.

Yes...

I've been having this problem for a few months now. I ordered the update IWE Solenoid from Amazon and have it installed. I thought that fixed the problem until yesterday when I tried to engage the 4wd again and nothing happened. Will have to tap on the transfer case today to see if that does the trick. I'm assuming the truck should be running when you do this? Do you have to have either 4-hi or 4-lo engaged on the ESOF when you tap it? Thanks.

you might wanna check your vacuum lines...
the 4 wheel drive works off of vacuum, the vacuum pulls the front hubs in and out... they can sometimes pull off of the inside if your hub in the steering knuckle. i'll try n find the vacuum diagram
they can also get water in them
