My 97 F150 will not shift into four wheel drive. When I turn the selector dash **** to 4h or 4L the correct dash light comes on, but wheels do not engage. My questions are: 1.Will the 4x4 dash lights work properly if the shift motor is stuck? From what I have read the 4x4 lights didn't if the motor was stuck. 2.Is a 94 and 97 shift motor the same, I have read how to clean 94 motor brushes on this sight.
I want to make sure I am on the right track before pulling shift motor.
any additional help will be greatly appreciated.

BEFORE SHIFTING TO 4x4, FOUND THAT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT WILL TURN FREELY BY HAND, AND AFTER SWICHING TO 4X4, FRONT DRIVE SHAFT DOES INGAGE, BUT STILL NO POWER TO FRONT WHEELS. ANY SUGGESTIONS?????
