98 EB Expedition 4x4 problems

My 4 wheel drive seens to be out but the transfer case and selector switch seems to be working. It will go into 4wh and low range but just doesn't lock in the front. Can anyone tell me Ford used a vacuum system like the Dodge 4x4's or if it's electric all the way through with electric motors? I'm hoping there will be a cheap fix. The vehicle has 57,000 miles so either way I'm a little down on it right now. Thanks

I just had to have the vacum lines replaced on my 98 XLT. Same deal, 4X4 light stayed on when selected, but no power to the front wheels. It cost me about $95 to have them replaced by the dealer. Good luck.
