Did you have it in Neutral to test the 4-low range? I think that it is necessary for it to engage. 4-high is on the go though, up to a certain speed, (55 or so).

The usual culprit in these cases is the shift motor. It can usually be cleaned and put back together. There's a thread in the useful threads forum on this, and maybe another one in the transmission/transfer case forum. You should be able to find information on this if you use the search engine on this site, because this has been discussed many times.
