Hello,
Check the fuse for 4 wheel drive. Should be in the power distribution box on the right side of the engine compartment. If that is good then most likely the engaement motor mounted to the back of the transfer case. Good luck!

The 4x4 telltales are light up by a set of physical contacts inside the t-case. If the transfer case isn't shifting into a 4x4 position the lights won't light up.
