You need to learn how to ask an intelligent question, we have no clue why it wont enguage. Is it running? Did you take the transfer case out? If you dont know enough to give far more specific details and haven't even attempted your own diagnosis, then just take it in and stop posting worthless questions.

I have a similar problem. When I turn my knob over to a4wd it engages but when I try to turn to 4 hi or lo it stays on a4wd. Now my friend recommend To skip the a4wd from neutral and flip knob all the way to 4hi but when I do this the light doesn't come on at all. There is also a 4x4 light but that has never come on since buying. What could cause the issue? thanks.

Check the fuses. After that, check the plug-ins down below on the transfer case.

If you have disconnected the battery pull your 4x4 fuses 1 under the dash 2 under the hood and put them back in. That fixed mine

There is a switch on both drivers side door and passenger door, it is going to be by the door latch you will have to remove the door cover so you can get to it. easy fix would be to spray down with wd-40 or you can by the part for about 15.00 dlls.
