I have a 1993 Explorer 4-door. I was stuck in mud a couple days ago... I was in 4x4..... i went to switch to 4 low....... the 4x4 light switch went off and now neither the 4x4 or 4 low work.... i have the dash mounted buttons above the radio to turn on my 4x4. Any ideas? I checked any and all fuses.... I looked in my Explorer book and found out that the shift control module is in the rear left wheel well area.... I dont know what to look for though. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

The electronic 4x4 system that Ford was messing with in the early 90's is plagued with problems...i finally just disconnected mine cause it was more trouble than it was worth...

 

wonder how much work it would be to switch it to manual 4x4.

 

Normally What I find is the lil elec. motor on the Transfer Case has hung up , If up look up under there its about the size of a wiper moter ( smaller than a soup can , round ) , there 3 bolts if I remember rite. If the 4 + 4 hasnt been used in awhile they kinda get stuck, Sometimes you can u-bolt them , An have someone work the switch, An they will go to working, , Then bolt it back up , like once every 2 weeks or once a month , just cycle your switches, Sometimes your able to get it to work by playing with in a empty parking lot just drive around slow an activate it, Go foward an Reverse while hitting the buttons, It has a coil set up very similar to an AC clutch .If you cant get it to work by unbolting it , then its probaly bad I have replacrd a bunch of them. But you should make sure your getting power down to it before you replace it with a new one , There pretty pricey !!! ,, Humm thought I answered this one , before ???
