4wd drive clicking on and off without switch being used

I have a 98 f 150 that keeps clicking itself into and out of 4x4. Sometimes it stays in 4wd for long period of time. Sometimes it stays in 2wd after clicking in and out several times. For the time being I just want to completely disable the 4wd. Does anybody know of a fuse I can pull or a simple wire I can disconnect?

Can you just unplug the transfer case underneath?

might be that the wires are chaffed or something, causing it to switch back and forth

Thank you. I just did this and the indicator light shows it is in 4wd, but it isn't. At least I can drive it to town without worrying about tearing something up.
