it's a multipurpose relay swap it out with one in the engine bay fuse box and see if it eliminates the clicking. If so, then put in a new denso or Toyota relay.

SR5 or Limited? Assuming SR5 since you are probably talking about the ADD relay in the passenger footwell...

Hey yes it’s 2000 sr5 j shifter so what it does is it has constant voltage to blue solenoid and when I switch it it stays on blue and and brown jumps erratically but power never stops going to blue vsv valve, if I change the hoses it does engage and disengage

The SR5 system is ridiculously simple. You have already verified the mechanical side of the system works, which is good.

Now you just need to check the transfer case position switches, then the ADD relay operation. Once of those is bad, most likely.
