Default 95 ram 4x4 problems

Hi i have a 95 1500 and i was having problems with my 4x4, so i looked at the vacuum lines coming out of the actuator and i found that the one coming out the back and up towards the engine was burnt off and just hanging there. the problem is i cant find where that hose is supposed to go to. any ideas?

One of them is just a vent line. The other goes up to the passenger side, up by the cowl, and plugs in to a snakes nest there. That one is the vacuum supply line.

Have a look under the hood. On the passenger side, between the A/C receiver/dryer, and the valve cover, several vacuum lines come together. One goes to a vacuum reservoir (which you can't see...) one goes into the passenger compartment, for the HVAC controls, and there should be yet another one that goes down to the transfer case. Vacuum supply for the T/C should be white... or green... can't recall.

Found the supply line then? The vent line should be white. Black line should go down and meet the steel lines below, and in front of, the transfer case.

Ok I found the green and white lines. The white is attached to other lines but the green isn't attached to anything. Should it be?
