transferbox lockout trouble - Land Rovers Only

I'm not getting power to the lockout solenoid on the transfer case on a 1995 disco. Is there some conditions that need to happen to activate the power? I know the trans needs to be in neutral, is there a neutral switch on the trans because I don't see a switch on the shifter. Any help would be great.

Many many days later I found the trouble. Wire harness corrosion on a hidden terminating connector wrapped inside the harness directly under the junction of the AC unit and the blower. The circuit that feeds 12v to the key-in switch only had 5v even with the fuse for the circuit removed. Connected a tone generator and used a tracer to find the signal stopped midway in the harness. Invaluable tool this TestUm Tonax and ResiTracer has become. Looks like another few days till repair, as I will have to remove the blower to get full access to repair the harness wires. Will post pictures soon. Looks like the source of moisture is from a coolant leak, likely from the heater core as the dried up corrosion is baby blue colored.
