Well your Bronco has the manual shifter so that rules out fuses, first I would check out the linkage between the shifter and the transfer case.

You said you have manual locking hubs but. do you have an auto system with manual override. This means do you have push button with Manual hubs? If so your on the right track with the fuse. If thats not it, try scanning your Computer for codes. Also your 4x4 computer may have gone out. This is not real common but entirely possible.

if its a push button, fuse would be a good thought, but if its a manual shift, it could be your shift linkage. it may have become disconected.
