Electric 4wd switch

I am having issues with my electronic 4wd not engaging, this summer I replaced the switch on the dash. Everything seemed fine for a while and than it quit working again (although maybe it really wasn't fixed). I tested the switch with a test light and had power coming in and nothing going out in any of the three switch positions. I replaced it under warranty and I am having the exact same thing, with no power going out in any postion. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

i know tom, it was kind of rhetorical. but in the end, being that soccer moms have a buttload of kids shouldn't that mean they are used to working a stick if you get what i'm sayin' : )

i think it was more a "I'm too fat and lazy to get out and lock the hubs" thing than it was a convenience for the soccer moms thing
