Trying to troubleshoot no 4WD. I'm going to replace the solenoids, but I noticed, this open black line and don't really see where it would go. Is this just a vent? It's encased with the pink and blue that runs down to the actuater. I don't hear or feel anything at the solenoids, so starting there.

Yea, it's the front axle breather. Should be wrapped w/pink&blue actuator vacs and pinned to the inside wheel well. Just stubs off right there (ends).

BTW-The pink and blues lines like to dry out and crack between the battery and firewall. Check your actuator w/mitey vac tool...Easiest way. Then check the solenoids.
