Did the scrap yard case come with the sensors and all hardware or did you need to move over the sensors and shift motor from your old case?
If you moved them over from the old case, maybe one or both of the sensors is the culprit.

It seems like I read something about that on here before. You might want to search the forum for something like "disable auto 4WD" and see if you find anything conclusive.
Also, make sure all 4 tires are the same size, the tread wear is comparable, and they are properly inflated per the door sticker.

ok update took to tranny shop again but this time it stayed locked in 4w low it seems like the transfer case control moduale wants to keep shifting the transfer case from 2w high to 4w high and low for some reason so after 2 hours of working on it this is what they came up with found the wires for the 2w high to put transfer case in and then got it to go into 2w high or the auto and then pulled the plug on the transfer case so the CM can't shift it again so far so good and will get a CM in the near future. want to thank shorod (Rod) for all his help also going to replace the buttons for the 4w drive just in case

If you find someone with a professional grade scan tool they should be able to monitor the speed sensors in the transfer case to see if one appears to be showing slip, therefore making the request for 4WD.

On the message center, that sounds like either an issue with the interior light dimmer circuit (not likely since you don't mention the radio or anything else dimming) or an issue with a bad solder joint for the message center fluorescent display. It's probably a rather simple fix if you're good with a soldering iron. The most difficult part is probably getting the instrument cluster out of the dash.
