No i have not. My limited knowledge of that would do me no good to, unless I can see something obvious.
I put an old railroad tie in the yard and tried to get my front wheel to run over it but all it did was push it. As well the 4wd light on the dash does not come on.
Is there a fuse somewhere i should look at?

Is it a vac disconnect axle? If you don't know what that is it is a device on the back if the axle with three vac lines going to it if you have a vac disco I would start there looking for proper connections and no vacuum leaks.

Here is what I found.
There is an electrical part opposite of the vac shift motor on the front axle that has its wires ripped off. Is that the indicator switch? If so, would it have anything to do with the 4wd not working?
Thanks.
