The 4wd stick doesn't go in?
Could be the selector bush under the 4wd stick..

Or all 4 wheel's are not engaged?
You may have a seized locking hub. ( only take's one & the front won't work)

Sometimes the transmission might be a bit tight. You might need to drive back or forwards a short distance for the gears to mesh properly.

To test the hubs, put hubs in free, jack up one side at a time so the wheel is in the air, turn that hub to lock and spin the wheel. You should hear a click as it engages/disengages. Also, if 4x4 is engaged that wheel should not spin at all.
