I've only had floor shift transfer cases, so no experience with the dash mounted transfer case switches. I just googled "dodge ram 4x4 flashing" and found a thread say that putting it in 4LO then into 4HI tends to cure the problem.

I'd get a factory service manual and look at the connector pinouts and general operation to identify some things you can start eliminating as issues.
