FLU419 4x4 won't go into 4x4

[Goathairs]

Hey guys, first post here. I've done some digging but couldn't find this specific issue. The air system builds pressure just fine but doesn't seem to be engaging the 4x4 or locker. When you turn the switch back to RWD there is a faint hiss releasing some pressure. Where is the best place to start looking?

There is also a slow leak which sounds like it's at the gauge behind the dash. What is the best way to get that out to fix it??

Thanks!

See if the 4x4 lever on the tranny is moving when you turn the air to it on and off. It is almost right under the back side of the cab.

Could someone by chance snap a picture of what I'm looking for here?

Hi over there in Wilmington. I am an hour or so away near Elizabethtown, NC. Glad to have another SEE owner around. My truck has the exact same issue. I have plenty of air pressure, but my truck must have sat for so long that the actuator solenoid seems to be frozen and will not move the lever. i have soaked everything with penetrating oil, but no luck with that. Plenty of hissing and air noise. As a temporary measure I have been able to manually move the lever with a crow bar. For most of my needs around my mostly flat property 2wd is enough, but I want to fix it properly

If you get a chance, how about updating your location in your account.

For the lockers get the air line off near the diff. on the axel tube and drip some drops oil in the fitting . Then connect the line again, and try. Repeat some times. Think it will work at the 4wd actuator ,too.

the 4x lever is behind the cab you can see it if you look down between the frame of the roll bar as i show in the first photo.

I have a lot of stuff removed not sure if you can see it on yours like i showed on the second two photos or not.
