Default 4x4 issue

So my 4x4 went out a few weeks ago while in the mountains and I just got around to trying to fix it. I thought it was the actuator but after $100 the problem has not been fixed. The transfer case seems to go in because I can hear it "grind" on occasion but the light on the floor shifter is out. The next thing I will check is the transfer case switch and the fuse. Now I look for the fuse under the hood and did not find anything that said 4wd and I don’t seem to have fuses under the dash, can anyone help with any suggestions? Thanks!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Will do. Do you know where the 4x4 fuse is? Thanks for your input!

Well I feel like a fool..it was a blown fuse. However that brings me to wonder why the fuse would have blown, any clue? Really just happy I have 4x4 again!
