4x4 Wont Engage

Hey all, so I found out the hard way today that my four wheel drive isn't working.


Truck is a 2001 F250 with 90k miles. I have manual hubs and the switch on the dash.
I don't have much experience with this setup at all. My F150 had the switch on the dash and automatic hubs that never once gave me any trouble at all.


I think I have the hubs locked in (turned in counter-clockwise position), however, neither way I turn them makes any change.


What's odd to me is that when I turn the switch, nothing at all happens, it's completely quiet. Only the light comes on.
In my F150 you could hear it in the transfer case and the hubs.


Any ideas where I should start?
