4x4 doesn't work, no lights, no nothing
hi to all, I'm new to the Ranger world and to this forum, I have a problem with the 4x4 system, I turn the **** to the 4x4 high and nothing happends, the lights don't turn on, I turn to the 4x4 low and still nothing, no clicks no sound, nothing, I know that the 4x4 lights work because I can see them turn on when I start the engine. I searched but I only found post that said that there 4x4 lights turned on and off, but none like mine. What do I start to check first??? Thanks a lot for your help.

Ok, problem found!!! 
, after hours of testing, checked all the fuses, relay box, switch connections, etc. And found nothing, I decided to clean the shift motor, then guess what, it works now. I didn't think it was the motor cause the 4x4 lights didn't turn on, I guess the lights turn on when the 4x4 actually engages. It works different in my mothers truck hers is a 99. But ohh well, but now that it works I have another problem 
, when I advance, theres a loud clunk from the front end, the tires roll a bit then "clunk" then they roll again then a big clunk again, what do I start to check? Could the front differential be damaged??? Thanks for your help.

I not sure what you are really dealing with but know that with any four wheel drive it's good to engage it once a month or so just to keep eveything from getting seezed up....not sure if what your are dealing with would fit into that category or not.......what i am saying is if it has sat for a long time
