06 FX4 4WD Stopped Working

Yesterday the 4WD on my 06 FX4 SCREW stopped working. Turning the switch to either 4HI or 4LO does not engage the front end. I checked the fuses and they look OK, I removed the switch and verified the wire connector in the back was secure. The indicator lights come on with the key so I know they're good. It has always worked in both HI/LO before with no problems, but not now. I can't get to the dealer for a few days but really need the 4WD now. Anything else I could check?

A problem like this could be the IWE Solenoid. Its like a 40-60 dollar part that takes no more than 20 minutes to fix. Problem is I don't know of anywhere else to get it but the dealer.

Same thing happened to my Lariat. they replaced a solenoid on it. there is a TSB out about water getting into them. My dealer needed the truck over night so they set me up with a free loaner car.
