What do you mean the rear end is still locked up? Is the transfer case locked into 4LO but only the rear wheels are spinning? Your transfer case should be manually controlled so those wires shouldn't have anything to do with the transfer case operation.

With the front hubs disconnected there is no 4wd operation. You could leave the transfer case in 4 Hi/Lo all day without really affecting the rear axle operation. Your description of the issue is really vague and confusing to me. Is the truck not wanting to move forward? Is there resistance or noises when trying to corner? I wish we could help you out but I am drawing a blank on what your issue really is.

I am quite certain your truck does not have an electric shift transfer case, it should be manual. Do you have a shifter on the floor to switch between 2wd, 4wd Hi/Lo and neutral? If so there is nothing electronic related to your problem.
