I would check the switch on top of the transmission. When u put the trans in gear hi, low or reverse a switch on the trans must complete the circuit. Move the gear shifter from neutral to reverse to see which switch is the reverse one.

If the 4X4 works in Hi or Lo but not reverse, the problem is not the speedometer.

Try this test:
Turn key on, motor does not need to be running.
Put trans in Hi or Lo, does the AWD light go on? May be hard to see in the sun light.
Put trans in reverse and push override button, does the AWD light go on?

Do you have a DVM and know how to use it?
