Arrow 98' ranger 4x4 problems

I've got a 98' Ranger with new hubs and the four wheel drive won't work. the switch is fine have replaced it. i'm thinking it might be the little motor on the front axle but not sure. any help would be great

New hubs? Who installed them? What happened to the old ones?

Do the 4WD switch lights blink or stay lit?

On a 98 the 2 most common problems are, the pulse vacume hubs and the electric shift motor. Since you have replaced the hubs I would say it's the shift motor.
