Default 4x4 isn’t working

When I first bought my 2006 Ram 1500 the private party told me I needed to program the computer for the 4x4 but since this is my first 4x4 I am not sure what that means

Check fuses first. I would expect the lights should "test" when you first turn the ignition on. Does that happen?

Was this a privately done conversion from a manual transfer case? Or was a computer module replaced? Go here, enter your VIN and see if it was built with that type of t-case: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing
Something sounds off
