dashboard 4x4 switch

My 2001 f-250 transfer case switch is acting up. It works fine when it is warmer outside (40 degrees), but when its colder out it will not go into 4 high or 4 low. Ford dealer says the swich is bad ( $725.00). but it does not make sense that it works most of the time. Has anybody else had a switch go out or is there something else to look at?

One of the techs on FlatRateTech recommended that the connection to the switch on the transfer case be pulled off and inspected for corrosion--you might try that.

I'd try a different dealer. You can buy a transfer case for about $725, I would expect the switch to be more like $7.25.

Maybe one of the online parts places will have it for cheap, it it turns out to be the switch. fordparts.com is one of many.
