Depends on how far the cable moves... we established that the vacuum works but we dont know how far the actuator pulls the cable.

So I go out and measure how far its being pulled in and if its not being pulled in enough, can i replace the cable or does that mean that actuator under the battery needs replaced?

depends if the cable is not locking the front axles the cable has to be seized or something

what you can do is disconnect it from the vac diaphram and pull it manually then lock it with a pair of channel locks

then test the 4wd
