The only disconnect is in the transfer case.

The only disconnect is in the transfer case.

On the front axle, on the right side there is a disconnect housing with a sift fork that moves a shift collar to engage the the axle. Inside the disconnect housing the axle from the pig stops and the axle to the wheel starts. The shift collar slide over both axles to bridge the gap. The shift fork is controlled by the motor assembly which is controlled by air lines.

Why won't the actuator switch unlock the front differential on 2000 dodge Dakota disengage. the front driveshaft remains engaged from the differential and spins even out of 4 wd. Is it a switch?

I do not think that there is a front axle disconnect. If there is then it is vacuum controlled and the problem is either a switch or a broken line.I do not think that there is a front axle disconnect. If there is then it is vacuum controlled and the problem is either a switch or a broken line.
