2WD and Turf mode working fine... it's the 4WD and diff lock that doesn't work, and no light in the dash board... Any tips ?

Most likely the adjustment under the bed needs tweaking. The cables will stretch a little over time and wear and tear. It can be finicky to get right. You need to move it 40' or so after adjusting to check.

Enen if the turf mode is already working ? because the 4wd cable go to the front diff.

Snuffnwhisky is probably right on the cables in the box under the bed needing adjustment. Had similar issue with mine and had the dealer adjust at first service. Haven't had a problem since.

He is correct about it being "finicky" too. I repeatedly adjusted mine according to the service manual and it wouldn't work right. I kept playing with it til it worked perfectly (didn't even pay attention to the index marks on the box).

Same here. I did not pay attention to the index marks on the box either. Works as it should now.

At the takeover mine started popping in the front end. Thought I broke the front diff. Just needed 1 round tighter on both cables going to the front in the box in the left rear floorboard.

inspect under hood for the lever connection. The other cable end is on the passenger side of the front differential under a black plastic cover. Check under that cover, there should be a threaded end, spring and nut. This is where the 4wd is engaged. You can also check the 4wd sensor for the dash indicator on the drivers side of the diff, make sure the wire is connected, as it can be pulled off.

See 11:20 in video for cover.
