Is the t-case motor working? Is the switch broken? Check for voltage at the t-case motor connection when the switch is operating.

pull the motor apart and confirm it works when power is applied to it. if not then replace. Have you made sure the tcase is full of fluid? when you put it in 4l do you hear anything at all?
