It is without a doubt your 4X4 control module. I have an 02 and had the exact same problem. Did you recently have total battery loss or replace a battery? After my battery died and I had to recharge it... I had the same problem as you. Go to directfordparts.com and email them with your Make...

Amen to all that brotha!

I don't understand why FORD doesn't bring more of those Euro cars over this way. I was looking on their Euro website and some of those things look damn cool... cooler then any ugly Ford Flex IMO.

Yes, Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and I bought a new module from www.directfordparts.com for $133. My 4x4 module would only work when warm (weird, eh?). The problem started happening after my battery died and I had to jump and then recharge it. You way want to keep testing your 4x4...

Really? At the Silver State Ford Parts website? (directfordparts.com) .... If thats what it says then they raised the price for that part since last week, I ordered mine 2 days before Thanksgiving and I paid... well here is what they said "Hi Scott.Thanks for contacting us.You need part...

Should have tried directfordparts.com.... I bought mine from them last week, the total including S/H for me was $133.00. Oh well, Atleast your problem is fixed :thumbsup::)

We want to know what happened!!

Have you recently charged your battery? Also... watch for the 4x4 lights when you turn on your vehicle. After the Motor starts you should see the "4wd and 4wd low" lights flash. If those lights don't flash... that means the control module is bad. That's how I diagnosed my problem. I literally...
