I have a 1998 4Runner Limited with the push button 4wd.
When I put truck into 4wd, and engage the button, no light comes on the dashboard. I can hear the "click" of the relay, and I can feel the transfer case engage manually. Well I can feel the resistance, and it clearly is moving.
I have been searching the net for days, found many useful threads, and so far this is what I have done to trouble shoot:
When it is in 2wd, the front driveshaft spins freely.
When it is in 4wd (either high or low) the front driveshaft is locked in place.
When I put it in 4wd (either high or low) and jack up a front tire, it spins freely and is NOT locked into place.
So I am guessing the front actuator is working properly, and perhaps the ADD is not locking the differential?
Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated.

Checked the dash light, its fine
Checked the 4wd button (on the shifter) and it checks out find
