Transfer case won't engage 2wd
I recently bought a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 all four wheels turn in 4wd however when I shift the transfer case into 2WD nothing engages same as neutral I looked under the truck and the three pin connector that plugs into the transfer case is missing no pigtail for it or anything I got a new plug for it but how do I wire it back into the harness and what does this plug do exactly?

VSS, I see. So that presumably has nothing to do with why the transfer case doesn't engage 2wd. Should I try to adjust the t-case shift linkage or do you think the t-case is f****ed up?

4Hi: all four wheels spin, 4wd light on
2Hi: no wheels spin, 4wd light off
N: all four wheels spin, 4wd light on
4L: all four wheels spin, 4wd light on

I'd first be CERTAIN the linkage is in good shape AND I'd shift it manually with the linkage disconnected. You'll get a relatively positive clunk in each position, may need to use vise grips or pliers.
If symptoms persist I'd plan to pull the t-case and split it open. Also note at some point 2hi may come back, but it likely won't last. Without the shift fork to guide the collar it can just kinda float around.

Ok I'm guessing you've got a toasted range fork.
