The vacuum actuator is either in the fender or under the battery. The actually diff actuator is on the back/bottom of the front diff. Mine (2000 blazer) is under the battery. It sucks to get to.
If you check the actuator and it doesn't move at all, check the vacuum, if it's not getting vacuum, check the switch on the top driver's side of the transfer case. It sends vacuum to the actuator. It has three vacuum hoses coming off of it. It costs fifteen dollars at autozone and usually greatly improves the performance of the acuator.

Front differential does not engage on your 1998 Chevy Z71?
There is a switch on the transfur case that sends power to the front differential 4x4 Actuator when you shift the 4x4 lever,need to check the switch with a test light to see if it has power going to it. If not then check fuse in fuse box for the 4x4, If it does have power going to it, then go to the front housing and check the Actuator with a test light to see if it has power going to it, if no power then problem is in the wireing from there back to the transfur case switch. If you do have power at the front, then replace the Actuator.
Blazer will not go into 4 wheel drive?
What year is your blazer? Most common cause for it to not go into 4x4 is the vacuum actuator. The actuator is run by vacuum from the transfer case. The vacuum compresses the rubber diaphragm which pulls a cable on the front differential to lock it in. The rubber diaphragm is prone to break down and if there are holes or tears in the rubber it will only suck air and not have the amount of vacuum needed to pull the actuator cable. This actuator is commonly mounted under the battery tray. Easy to remove and inspect. 1998 blazer There is a vacuum switch on the transfer case that usually goes bad. I have replaced mine 3 times. Factory lasted until 225,000 miles and had to replace the aftermarket 2x since, one only lasted a year.
