You have electrical tested several items. Have you considered testing for power at the shift motor?

I will double check when I replaced it last week I had power. No relays in the dash are clicking when switched from2wd to4wd.

4wd actuator on the front not engaging perhaps? That diaphragm goes after time, that's a potential problem.

There is no shift position feedback indicator on the front axle actuator. This problem, as described, of no relay clicking and no 4wd dash lamp will be something else.

To OP, search this section for other “no 4wd” threads. There are quite a few, with good information, with youtube diagnostics links too, which will definitely help you solve it.
