Well yeah.
You forgot all the other things that are involved with the system.
The lever has to signal the transfer case motor to run to the first position.
This turns a link rod in the transfer case to engage the front drive shaft and operates the 'High' solenoid to pull the actuator in and engage the front drive.
First check is the case motor runs.
Fuse to the motor is good etc.
It's way more than just relay operation in these trucks..
Good luck.

On the back of the transfer case.
It has a connector on it.
