1997 tahoe, push button 2hi, 4hi, 4lo.

Problem - 4hi light non-stop blinking, does not engage front axle.
Symptoms - 4low engages low speed tranfer case as it should, but it light still blinks and does not engage front axle
Solution tried - Replaced thermal front axle actuator with new motorized version. I can physically hear the the actuator motor when I press 4hi.
Checked fuses for transfer case and 4wd, they are fine
Note:I hooked up the old thermal actuator directly to the battery and it extended.

No idea what the problem could be if the front actuator seems to be working Please help!

unknown at this time.
numbers 11 or 14 may be broken or the parts they touch. i assume both cv shafts are complete and have no broken joints?
