2001 4x4 not working

I have 2001 ranger 4x4 4.0 sohc,my 4x4 is not working i have put a new transfer case motor on and it still doesnt work,all fuses are good,are there any relays under the hood,when i turn the **** t 4 high i hear 2 clicks from the control module behing the passenger kick panel i took that off and it looks ok,i also have taken the gem located to the left of the radio off and it looks good,but sometimes it would go into 4 wheel drive and sometimes it wont,also when you switch it to 4 wheel drive the motor turns a little and them it goes back to 2 wheel it doesnt turn enough to lock it in,like it wants to go into 4 wheel and something is telling it not to.someone please help.

I have power to the shift motor because you can hear it move alittle but it does not move enough to lock it in,it acts like it going to lock then the motor stops and goes back the other way.

There are no PVH hubs on a 2001. Front axle is constantly turning...just have to lock in the transfer case to apply power to them.....one nice reason the 4x4s don't get that good of gas mileage
