Have you checked the actuator on the transfer case? Pig tail to it?

Just check the wires with key on and you should be able to see when you switch it to high and low the wires will show hot and move to another wire when you switch it. If that makes since. Should be one hot wire all the time.

I would check the pigtail at the transfer case first. See if there is any juice to it. If not then check the switch itself in the dash since you already checked the fuses.
