Whew, that was tough to read.
Could you be a bit more clear?
The only thing I got from that was that the shifts into 4 wheel while driving.

the part time light is vacuum actuated...put the lines back where they belong. or check for vacuum leaks. this happens once in a while on my rig too. the difference is i've permanently moved my axle shift fork over...

You know, I'm not trying to be a ****, but it's amazingto me, that you could own your jeep, and install the lift, but not know what a dana 30 is

Why did you disconnect vacuum lines? That's most likely why the front axle doesn't engage.
And what did you do to the ignition switch? I'm having trouble understanding your post.

Ok OP, it seems as if you removed the vacuum lines that actuate the axle lock. Now you have one of three options to correct this problem. 1)Reinstall the vacuum lines. 2)grab a one piece D30 axleshaft and install. 3)Install a 4x4 Posi-Lock cable kit in place of vacuum lines.

You already have a dana 30. as others have stated, you have the older vacuum disconnect model. Also as they have stated, you need to either hook your vacuums back up, or swap in 97 or newer axle shafts.
