Could be a number of things.... It could be the switch itself. It could possibly be the shift motor on the transfer case, it could be a blown fuse. The A4WD system works independently from the 4WD system. The 4WD system actually shifts the transfer case via a motor on the transfer case, it then sends power to the front differential. The A4WD is electronicaly controlled. It senses when the rear wheels lose traction, then sends more power to the front wheels to compensate for the loss. It runs off speed sensors located in the rear of the transfer case and speed sensors in the front of the transfer case. Hope this helps!
