Saif - welcome, but you left some info out.

Your transfer case is either a manual, or electronic shift & of course they behave differently.
Assuming you have the electronic shift, these little solenoids/motors are known to be temperamental.

Your first steps to diagnose is to determine where the problem is. The 4x4 system on an F-150 is weak compared to a solid front axle, but it is still very capable for light duty.
Based on your description, it seems like the transfer case will engage in high & if your front hubs & solenoids engage then your problem is "likely" with the shift motor.
