if the lights on the switch are not working then the 4 wheel drive isnt working, it might be as simple as a loose connection between the switch and the shifting motor, it could be a bad motor on it, it could also be a bad computer controller(i cant remember what it is called) if you dont have the repair manual for the truck i have it as a pdf i can upload for you if you want it, just let me know.

I have a 99 Durango and my 4 wheel P/T light only works sometimes. I know I am in 4 wheel drive just by trying to turn and feel the tires grabbing.
