It might be; the actuator runs off vacuum. Check for leaks - it's a combination of plastic lines and rubber connections.

Is your 4x4 lite in the dash coming on?

Check the vacuum lines, make sure theres no holes in them, not cracked and theyre not plugged. One of mine got plugged and it wouldnt engage at all either

Check this out:

I put the "Perm-Lok" on my 96 Ram 1500. This way the two-piece axle is always connected, and I don't have to worry about vacuum lines.
