My 2014 1500 does not go into 4 WD. The lights on the switch do not work either. I am hoping a bad fuse or relay. Am I wrong?

Identify the relay and you can test it or bypass it or swap it, even fix it another vid for that. Or you can find out if the relay is getting current, maybe the issue is at the switch. If relay is getting current and tipm is good, the issue would be between relay and transfer case somewhere. If for some reason transfer case motor is burned out, find the root cause before replacing it. If is was a bad ground or damaged incoming hot wire and you replace transfer case, and the issue wasn't fixed, you would loose the new motor as well, bad deal there.

My Neutral bottom
Light doesn’t work/come
On, 4WD Low light blinks but doesn’t stay solid. 4x4 auto and lock work fine. Anybody have this issue or know the fix?

If your lucky transfer case might not be recognizing neutral or park from trans. That is the difference, 4wauto doesn't need park or nuetral. Have you tried engaging 4x4 low in park and neutral with same result?

I haven’t tried it in neutral, just park.

Dealer fixed it. Poor electrical connection was all it was.
