4WD "Light" not working

I cannot get the 4wd indicator light to display in the instrument cluster. I have changed the bulb behind the cluster several times so I know the bulb is good. I have the "On-Demand" 4wd with the push button on the side of the shifter. I just bought this truck so I dont know much about how this all works. the 4wd does engage so its just the light that dosent work. As soon as I hit the 4wd button the light briefly comes on for a split second and then just remains off. Please help thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies I will check the wiring I just wasnt sure why it would come on sometimes and just go right back off. At lunch today i got it to come on by holding in the clutch and then hitting the button but I tried it again after that but it never came on some im not sure what is going on.
