    Put the switch on another vehicle and it worked fine. The switch on the other vehicle didn't work in mine. Any other suggestions?

    Check for a loose connection and vacuum lines on the 4wd actuator valve.

Car only starts sometimes

The start circuit from the ignition switch to neutral safety switch to the solenoid on the starter might be bad. Look for power there at solenoid or at neutral safety switch when it doesn't want to crank over.
