Angry 4WD not engaging HELP!

Hi All,
I have a 4WD 1997 F150 with a 4.6. Just recently it will not go into 4WD and does not light the 4WD indicator light on the dash, I have read some forums and followed many troubleshooting recommendations but am against the wall.
I have replaced the transfer case motor and both vacuum solenoids on the firewall. I have good vacuum to the coils but don't have vacuum to the actuator. I also show power to both 2WD and 4WD solenoids at the same time on the control side of each solenoid - Weird! I haven't checked the selector switch yet, both 30a and 10a fuses check good. The actuator seems to move freely by hand. Any direction would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thank you in advance,
Brent

The actuators that the buttons are connected to are probably bad. Common issue with these push button 4x4
