theres 3 vacumhoses comes from TC. One goes directly to switch (should be inder your battery), 2.nd hose goes to vacumsource, directly from manifold or through the canister (ball mounted on the hood) , the 3rd. one is the vent.

if you dont have a vacum leak, you can check your switch if it switches from 2wd to 4wd.
During the years, vacum hoses cracks, I have changed all vacum hoses of mine last month to be safe side.
