Default 4WD not engaging....

I took my blazer to the trail for the first time yesterday. When I got to the first obsticle I had to turn arround when I started to climb arround the first rock my rear driver side wheel started spinning. I put it back in two wheel drive and started spinning out in the same spot as when I was in 4 low. Where should I check first. It doesn't have manual locking hubs, ant the lights dont come on on the indicators either.

Tried 4 hi and low, no front drive on either. 4 low puts the rear into low though. I couldn't find any linkage near the hubs is it engeged at the diff? is it vaccume or electric. if its vaccume where does it come from?

well that was easy! The vacume line had fallen off the actuator. Wish I found that at the trail. The indicator lights still dont work though.
