Default Can't Find the Vacuum Switch...

Ok so I feel pretty retarded but everywhere I look online Shows that the transfer case vacuum switch should be right there where i'm looking. So I took some videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


I go right in under the driver's side right above the axle where it meets the transfer case. Above the axle and in there i just don't see it... Am I Blind?

also while looking into a replacement... I found two types of switches. An electric 2 wire plug, and a regular 3 line vacuum one. Is it possible its the electric and isn't located on the transfer case?

electric version
Regular Version

If thats the case... The one vacuum line that i do see coming from the transfer case could lead to the electric switch someone else, does that sound reasonable? sorry I haven't worked with this blazer long and i just don't know it very well. Thanks in advance!

the switch is the electrical one, and it is located under the hood, not on the transfercase. should be near the firewall and look similar to this.

Thanks Guys. I thought I was going nuts too!!! That picture clears it up. I must say the location on the firewall is much easier to get to than on top of the trasfer case.

Thanks Again
