When 4x4 won't even try to go in. I push the switch and no sound or anything trying. The computer screen says it went into 4 wheel tho so not sure what's going on.
Charge up the battery fully, check the primary battery connections to everything - especially the starter. Check for voltage at the starter solenoid when you push the starter button. Check for good ground from battery to frame & battery to crankcase.

The starter has to throw it's gear out using centrifugal force. The speed of the starter has to be enough to overcome the spring inside. It is either a little seized and needs to be rebuilt and greased up, or the battery isn't powered up enough to get the right speed to engage properly. In that case clean the battery posts and clamps well, then charge or replace the battery. To know if the battery is bad wait till it is charged... if it still doesn't engage try again with booster cables from your car etc. and see if it suddenly works fine.

This issue could be much worse than you think. I would take it to a shop. If you have the skills remove the motor and get ready for a long day. You will have to split the motor apart. To me it sounds like the bevel gear. Hope this helps and if you need more help I will do what I can. Feel free to ask.
