96 f.150 electronic 4x4 issues
Hey guys srry if their is a similar thread I searched and couldnt find anyone with my exact problem. I have a 96 f.150 with a 351w and it has the electronic push button fourwheel drive, and its worked fine ever since I, ve had the truck I tried to lock it in yesterday and I couldnt here the solenoid click or the motor engage, and the switch on the dash didnt light up. So first I checked the fuse and it was good then I changed the switch with spare one, still nothin then I checked the transfer case module up under the dash and I performed the test and it showed it was good, then I moved on to the motor on the transfer case took it off gave power too it and it spun fine, just in case I swapped it with another one that worked same thing. Buttons wouldnt light up. I tried unhooking the negative on the battery and resetting still nothin. Front drive shaft spins free so its in 2wd, So I've done everything i could think to do. Would appreciate any help. Btw I have manual warn locking hubs that work fine if that matters

Time to start taking a real close look at your wiring maybe.
You've got a switch, a motor, a 4x4 computer module and a lot of wires. You've already been through the switch and motor so it's gotta be in the wiring or the module (I would think - there could be something like a transmission sensor or vss involved).
I'd start with the wiring because it's the cheapest to fix if the problem is there.
