Default 4x4?????

I am sure this questions has been asked a million times, but I need the correct way to engage 4 wheel drive. It seems like I have tried them all and I get nothing . No light no clunk no a dam thing. Any guesses on what I need to check? I will be changing tie rod ends and I am going to check vacuum lines and anything obvious. Any of you guys has had this issue?

Just turn the switch for 4Hi and put it in neutral for 4Lo.

But, do you get traction with the switch in 4hi?

for low, i think a tap of the brake is required also.

It's very easy to tell by just making a tight turn, you can feel it. Not good for the front tires though so switch back as soon as you verify.

No idea no light telling me its on or not working no sound or clunking Nothing..
I tried to use it pulling a trailer out of a job site. I could not tell either way.

find a nice gravel/snow/mud/ice patch, push it in 2wd until you get wheel spin. switch to 4wd and try again. if it doesn't hook up and go, you've got a problem.

All I hear when mine engages is a relay 'click' from the passenger's side footwell.
