1999 Ranger 4x4 problem

I have a '99 Ranger 4x4 4.0L Auto. I didn't drive it much this summer and it hasn't been in 4 wheel drive since the end of winter.Today I had it out and tried the 4 wheel drive. It did not engage according to the light on the dash.Also the 4 wheel drive on the dash would flash once in a while. I believe this is a vacuum type 4 wheel drive system. Any ideas where I can start to trouble shoot.Thanks

If your 4hi and 4lo light come on flashing 6 times every 2 minutes check the 20A fuse under the hood in the power distribution box. if this doesn't work it could be the shifter motor itself, they are known to go....

I wish mine would have been the fuse.

When that happened to me the shift control module went out. $163
