Unhappy 4X4 doesn't engage

My truck has the automatic switch on the dash. Its a 2003 and it used to give me problems once in a while but i always check it once a month or so to make sure everything is good. This month the light didn't turn on on the dash saying i was in 4x4 high or low and i did not hear anything engage..... What could be wrong? and could a broken 4x4 anything cause worse MPG??

2 things control that light, the switch and the GEM.
