Exclamation How do i get the 4wd light to go on?

I got all my vacuum to the actuators to work and suck air. I got a new bulb on the 4wd slot. I think my 4wd is working now. BUT, I cant get the light to go on the instrument panel.

Well, there is a wire connector that is from the actuator and maybe it is disconnected?....

IF you dont hear a click, then things are not engauged in the diff.

Make sure your wiring and vacuum lines are in good shape...

Yesterday i check all the lines and found that they were all ripped and clogged by rust. so i got new ones and now they all seem to suck air. Do you know where I could get a diagram of which lines go to the solenoids?
Thanks for helping me out!
