On mine I think the transfer case is stuck in gear 1. because the front drive shaft always spins and 2. because the 4X4 light in the dash is always on so I think the two are related. When I flip the shift on the fly switch the indicator lights do not change BUT I hooked my truck up to a scanner and you can see the switch change when you move it.

So I got mine fixed. All I hade to do was clear the codes out of the transfer case and it started working. I guess it has a safty thing where it wont let it work if there is a code.
