Remove the T-Case motor and look things over.
The motor turns a shaft to engage the transfer case.
Manually move it back to the 2WD position. Then you can at least drive the truck in 2wd.
Then begin the look for what is wrong.
Look at the circuit board and wiper contacts for damage.
Could be a fault with the transfer case, the motor or how you installed it.
Good luck.
