02 Range 4 wheel drive issues - Please Help!

Recently we experienced a decent snow fall, and I discovered the hard way that my 4 wheel drive has decided to quit on me.
I contacted my mechanic and he suggested that the transfer case motor may be seized up. He said that was kinda common.
I ordered a new one and put it on. No help. I checked the switch in the dash.... appears to alright.
Contacted the mechanic again. He said it could be a control module. Best I can figure, the problem is electrical in nature.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?????
I love this little truck, and I want to fix it before I get stuck in the another snow storm.

Thanks!

You can check your shift motor by taking it off of the t-case, but leave the harness hooked up so it has power. Have someone turn the **** inside the truck as you see if the shift motor is engaging or not. If the shift motor isn't getting power, then you have to start checking backwards from the shift motor. The next spot would be the switch or ****, see if there is power to there. I wonder if the shift motor has it's own fuse or relay, did you check all your fuses and what not?
