Year, model, etc. If it is 94 or older try tapping the metal "coffee" can on the t-case w/ a mallet.

Welcome to the site. Try searching and you'll get a ton of info.. 98% of the time the failure is related to the electronic shift motor attached to the Transfer Case. This device is an electrical motor that rotates the T-case from 2H to 4H to 4L when it receives the correct signal from the 4x4 computer (unfortunately it is common for this motor to get frozen in position from lack of use, or loose its position due to the geared position sensor moving outside it's operational range. I'll start you off in the correct direction. 4x4 shift motor rebuild Also check out the info in my signature lines....
