what is this part

what is this part called i tried getting it today at auto zone and they didnt know what it was . It is for the vacuum of the 4x4 it is on the firewall. They told me i had to go to the dealer to get it I was hoping i could get it at auto zone or napa.
4wd Vacuum Solenoid. Electric Vacuum Switch. And probably many more names. The parts stores do not have this component for the most part. The only place I have seen it is the dealer.
do you think this will fix my 4x4 issue. I all ready replace the part under the battery tray and the light still just blinks repeadely after pushing but it doesnt go back to 2 just blinks. After i bought the new part under the battery tray i heard a hissing coming from this part i mentioned. I hope this fixes the problem. Thanks
You can test that part very easily. It is just a solenoid valve. It should be normally sealed and open up when +12V is applied. If you heard hissing, is the part cracked anywhere?
As far as your blinking light problem, I will respond to the other thread you have on the subject. There are a lot of 4wd threads floating around right now. I really wish I had time to consolidate all of the information I have typed out numerous times into a single DIY post, but...

the hissing is coming from the top of the part there is like a breather hole amd if i put my thumb over it the acutator under the battery tray hold pressure, So i was thinking it was a vacuum issue not an electrial issue. the vacuum hoses are good.
