|  98 Ranger Electric 4wd switch/motor problems
I recently bought a 98 ford ranger, the only thing wrong with it is the 4wd doesn't work. You can turn the switch all day long and have it do absolutely nothing. No click no clunk, no lights. But just randomly as it runs, or as you drive it, the 4HI and 4LO lights on the dash flash 6 times and then quit for 5 or 10 minutes and then they flash again. Is this a common problem, any quick fixes? |

|  Similiar issues
Yes, sounds just like my problems. I hear clicking when I attempt to put into 4x4 (hi or low), then lights flash on panel 3-5 times every few minutes. Bought a GEM module, was told it didn't need programming, installed it and wasn't able to go any faster than 3-5 mph or engine cut off.... Aaaaarrrgggh, now I'm out $150+ and 4x4 still not working.. Suggestions welcome... | |

I was looking at ex forest service Rangers at a local auction and several seemed to have problems of this sort.
One truck (a 01) I was interested in was stuck in 4wd Low and the switch did nothing. Another (a 99) did 4wd high but no 4wd low.
Looking at the questions above and observing the vehicles behavior at the auction it seems this design is problematic?
Does anybody have any ideas what goes out and how to fix it? Thanks | |
