It's either your a sensor on top of your transfer case or your vacuum actuator (under the battery tray).

The sensor on your transfer case is a five minute job. Go to NAPA to get the switch, as it's half the price there.

When you replace the switch, you need to make sure the vacuum lines going into the new switch match up. There should be a slot in the plastic harness that plugs into the switch.
