You are (1) in low range or (2)may have a vac leak or(3) switch malfunction(behind the e-brake backing plate).
When no vacuum is present, the front drive is engaged.
Notes:
Front drive is always engaged in low range or when parked(engine off).
The switch under the right rear jump seat controls the solenoid, the main vac line to controls is to right rear of engine compartment, just follow the hose from the intake source :wink:

One last item, please put your location in your profile.
