Is the 4WD switch on a 2004 Tahoe working?

I have a 2004 Tahoe LS. Two years ago, the 4WD switch buttons started acting up. It would light up red, like in neutral, then sometimes not go into 4-Hi, or maybe stay in 4-Hi and not go into 2-Hi right away. From what I recall, I disconnected the battery or something and the system reset and worked fine ever since. Until this month.
