it can take a moment to engage, though I believe one light in the switch
is supposed to come on right away, the other when it engages.

Your switch may be dirty, of course.  also, it won't engage over 15 (or
is it 25?) mph, and automatically disengages at that speed.

the vacuum supply to it might be bad/hose broken, etc., and the actuator
may also be busted, disconnected, etc.

the consensus seems to be that this is due to crud on the hub teeth -
could also be a bad wheel pickup.  the solution is either to "fix it
properly" which seems to me to involve scoping the outputs of the
pickups, or disabling it, at least temporarily.

There is a relay under the knee panel with a red fuse in it, pulling the
fuse (or relay) will turn it off for good.  you'll be stuck with a
dashlight unless you remove the bulb, though.
