4x4 HI engages but doesn't light up on the dash ?

New to the forum, I have a 2005 f-150 fx4, this pass winter I use my 4x4 HI was working perfectly, but ever since I bought the truck at 98k (now 117k) it hasn't light up on the dash, what's wrong ? FYI 4x4 LOW light ups no problem

Have you replaced or re-seated the bulb for it in the instrument cluster? Simplest solution is usually the right one. Usually...

Never have, if that's the case where can I get it done?

There's also a sensor/switch in the transfer case, could be that too.
