Default Power to fuse #15 "4WD" but no power to 4wd switch on dash.

Please disregard this post.
My wiring colors did not match the diagrams and I did my tests wrong.
I opened the switch, checked and cleaned the soldered connections, cleaned the board -especially the contact areas- and cleaned the harness connectors, and switch pins. Did the same on the transfer case control module and its connectors.
Plugged battery back in and now the switch lights up and the 4WD now works.
Reasons for the fix are unknown, as what I did is more akin to maintenance than repair, but I won't complain.

Still, this is a good report to have. Sometimes it seem like simply taking things apart and putting them back together again will help.
