The changeover solenoids are located on the body just behind the cross member which is basically above the rear axle, and off centre to the left. There are two solenoids - one for forward fuel and the other for return.
Climb under there and feel for action on both solenoids as someone else activates the sub switch on/off/on/off.
They can physically jam from crap in the fuel or lack of use. Also electrical problems can occur - look for 12VDC on each solenoid when sub is selected.
There is a vulnerable wiring point where the cable exits the body floor pan just in front of the left hand rear wheel arch. It then heads straight toward the changeover solenoids. I have had stick damage bust a couple of wires there before.
Hope that helps.
Oh - and forget the hammer
