Chevrolet Silverado Wiring Problem

I got a 1996 k1500 with the push botton 4 wheel drive. The front axle actuator has 3 wires. A black ground, a brown wire with ignition power, and a light blue wire thats hot when the 4x4 button is pushed. I tested all 3 wires with a DVOM and the brown wire only has around 3 to 4 volts. I can only find wiring diagrams for the 2 wire actuator. Do you have a diagram i could see? Or any info?

if it is ignition power, then you need to start by checking fuses with a test light. otherwise, look closely at the harness for breaks.

Thats what i want to do. I see on some forums people will post wiring diagrams if someone needs them. Can you do that?
