not too sure on the 2000+ but on an older one that'd be your 4wd seliniod most likely

Do you have a service 4wd? My 2000 had an issue with the switch itself.

You can not scan the transfer case computer which a generic code reader. You can only scan the powertrain. Most auto part stores can not scan it either.

very true. i would check fuses, and if all are good, trace wiring, looking for breaks, shorts. could be too that the lights on switch itself aren't working.
