It might be the vacuum switch on the T-case.  It also could be a short in the wires. The fork in the CAD acts as a ground for the elecrical switch.  The most comon failure is the miles of vacuum lines going from the engine to the T-case and then up to the front axle. 

Even better, swap out the shafts for some out of a 96+ XJ or TJ and do away with the CAD and get the bigger U-joints.

Ive done that swap before.  its easy, but may require seal modification to  make it work.  call me if you need a hand.
