There is a position switch in the front axle which will illuminate the light on your console when the front axle is engaged. Seems the actuator under the battery is not pulling on the engagement cable like it is supposed to.

Which one? The position switch that is on the front axle, the vacuum actuator which is under the battery, or the battery itself?

I guess we should get back to basics here. Does the problem you are experiencing extend beyond the light illuminating in the console? Have you put all 4 wheels in the air and engaged the 4wd system to see if all wheels turn? Have you verified that the transfer case is engaging into 4wd?

Very different from your original question. If you cannot engage any other modes in the transfer case, then it is possible that you damaged the selector shaft inside the transfer case.
