2014 8speed with Auto 4wd

I tried to shift to 4wd and no dice. The light just flashes on the switch and the "Serve 4WD" comes on and stays on. If I turn the key off and re-start, I have no light. Could this be the actuator or something else? I tried all modes of 4WD and nothing worked. 2WD works just fine and I have not heard any odd noises.

I do have Brandon's "switch" to make the clutches get better contact, but that had no affect on it either.

Thanks for the help in advance!

if you didn't do anything to break the case or bearings i would say it just needs a transfer case motor.

Is there a way to test? Would that seem to be an “out of the blue” failure?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Replaced the transfer motor. I am not hearing actuation from the motor. It could be a wiring problem or the control box under the passenger side dash.
