The tccm will set a code, which turns on the SVC 4WD light, 9 out of 10 with the symptoms you mentioned it is a switch. The only way to start the diag process is to know what code is set, then go from there. You need a Tech2 scanner to read TCCM codes.

I would buy the switch and cross my fingers. I remember it being relatively cheap considering the other alternatives. The dash switch and the one on the transfer case have exactly the same symptoms.

Keep me posted and we'll see about getting your 4wd working 100% again soon. First try pulling the fuse (labeled ATCM or TREC) in the underhood fuse box for 30 seconds and see if that restores it. If so, you probably need the TCCM (transfer case control module). There's updated programming to correct this issue, but on the 2002, you have to replace the TCCM.

Here is a TBS concerning your 4wd.

This bulletin is being revised to add Subject information and change the labor operation. This bulletin cancels and supersedes Bulletin Number 03-04-21-006. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Numbers 02-04-21-006D and 03-04-21-006 (Section 04 -- Driveline/Axle).

Condition

Some customers may comment that the 4WD/AWD indicator lights on the selector switch do not work, or the 4WD/AWD system may be inoperative and/or the service 4WD light is illuminated. The condition is typically intermittent and always occurs at key-up. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC C0550 set.
Cause

The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) has not received the wake-up call during key-up and has remained in the "sleep mode".

When the TCCM is in the "sleep mode", it will not communicate with the class II bus or the Tech 2®.
Correction

1. Try to communicate with the TCCM. If no communication, go to step 2. If communication is possible, go to step 5.
2. Remove the underhood (ATCM or TREC) TCCM fuse.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reinstall the fuse. The module should "wake up" and communicate with the Tech 2®.
5. Check for codes in the TCCM. If a C0550 is found current or in history with or without other codes, replace the module and go to step 6.
6. Reprogram the TCCM with the latest TIS software using normal SPS procedures.
7. Verify operation and that no codes are present.

Important: For the 2002 model year, the TCCM must be replaced and reprogrammed.
