Last weekend my buddy got his truck stuck in some deep mud, so i went over to help him out and give him a tug, well in the process of that my 4x4 quit working. I was in 4hi and heading back to road and went through some deep ruts and i got stuck, my 4x4 kicked out for some reason so after him pulling me out and many attempts i made it out. So i got to looking and theres some solenoid or something located on the front differential i heard about on another forum that has two vacum hoses going to it which engages the 4x4, and i didnt see one, i did see two hoses which appear to be vacuum hoses but no solenoid, any ideas? anyone have any pictures of what one looks like? im afraid it was ripped of the bracket but not 100% sure since i dont know what im looking for. Oh its a 03 f150 fx4 four door with a small lift, and the 4x4 on the fly with automatic hubs.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
