Crawl under the rig and find out why its not shifting. I don't know what TC you have so I can't tell you much more. for the power switch is the button working or is the setting not changing. You have 2 seperate issues going here.

have you tried driving slowly backward while moving to 2wd (slowly, as in just a bit faster than idle), then drive forward slowly for a while before accelerating?

Isn't that a vacuum actuated system with a vacuum motor on the front axle? Maybe a vacuum line/connection or the vac motor diaphragm is compromised?
