Not to split hairs, but you only mentioned the fact that the front axle engagement light was not illuminating in this thread. Regardless, it does not matter where/when you mentioned it.

Support the vehicle on jack stands with all four wheels in the air, start the engine, engage the transfer case into 4HI or 4LO, put the transmission in drive, and then look under the truck. If the front drive shaft is spinning, then the problem lies with the front axle engagement vacuum actuator. If it does not spin, then you did more serious damage to the transfer case and may need to remove it and open it up to determine what went wrong (or get on from a junkyard to swap in).

A busted vac line will not cause electrical problems. I would inspect the electrical connections at the TCCM first. If that is not the cause, the next choice is whether you want to have it properly diagnosed or try to replace components...
