Default Vacuum lines to front axel

Does anyone know witch vacuum line out of the 3 is for the 4x4 light?? I had to disconnect to install a lift. And now it still engages but ligh doesn't work anymore. I know one of the lines is for the light. Can't really see in them. So if anyone knows... I'll just clean it with a piece of wire. Thanks!!

Check it out when you get to a PC. Too complicated to explain to an iphone. That's why I posted a link in the first place.

Dono the link issue. It jut says loading forever. The one sucking is the light? there's only one that will suck? out of the 3? Does it suck from the axel or the hose? Do I have to drive to make it suck or does it always suck?

IDLING...one line to it apples vacuum to engage it when you select 4WD. When it's actually engaged, that same vacuum is diverted to the 4WD light. The other line disengages it.

Ok by your user name you have an 89. If so under your radiator bottle on the passenger side there should be a blue thing there wit a vacuum line to it that's the one you'll need to repair or clean. I forget the name but you can follow it all the way down to the axle it does turn into metal lines for a bit. The blue thing is Wat the vacuum line sucks to activate the 4x4 indicator light
