Manual tcase swap from 95 to 99

[travo87]

Ok so it's been awhile since I have posted on here but long story short I had a 95 yukon with the 5.7 tbi 350 and the 4l60e transmission and a nv241 manual shift tcase. Well thst truck took a shit so I bought a 99 yukon with the 5.7 350 vortec ok so doen the road my tcase went out truck didn't move instead of spending a thousand or more to get a new one(cause I ain't got that type of money) I actually swapped my tcase from my 95 into my 99 it worked just fine drives fine and everything well now my problem is I can't get thr front axle actuator to engage to lock the front axle into 4x4 so I've been trying ro wiring in a switch but I can't seem to get this thing to engage I removed it and tried getting it to do something outside of the vehicle with a battery and nothing has anyone doen this and if so how did you solve this I heard there is a cable I csn put it to move the colar for the front axle

You can find wiring diagrams on www.charm.li for your truck. See how the actuator is, well, actuated and replicate that function.
