Thats the actuator. Vac solenoid is passenger side of the car up on the firewall in the engine bay.
Most people including myself who have had issues with them have changed them out for a MAC solenoid valve.
Mine was rusted internally and stuck the valve shut so it wouldnt engage same as yours.
About $180 but well worth it. The locking of the diff now feels quicker to engage and disengage

The bottom vacuum hose is for diff lock off. The top vacuum hose in your picture is diff lock on.

Do you know if they can be fixed?
I don't mind spending a couple of hundred to get it sorted.
I know Nissan will blame my aftermarket exhaust to be the issue...lol

Ok got it back in shape but no cigar, still not engaging.
Thinking the vac solanoid could be the issue.

With the engine running and the diff lock switch on you should have vacuum in that top hose only at the diff.
When you switch the diff lock switch off you should have vacuum in the lower hose only.

With locker OFF there is vaccume on the bottom hose

I have attached a few pics of my MAC valve.
I even bent the original bracket to mount the MAC onto. Some have made their own brackets to hold them. Took about 20 mins to do including wiring the 3 wires up into the original harness.
Its dead easy
Part number was 45A-AC1-DDBA-1BA
I also ordered fittings to suit with it. So you will need a breather and 3 x push type fittings if you set it up the same way as mine. I think it was 4mm line I used which I ordered 1m of it. You dont need that much but I kept it as spares and its cheap.
I rung MAC direct and they were more than helpful and overnight bagged it to me as well.
