Thanks for the replies, Neutral into 4x4 low, with brake on is not working. What is the best way to "Test", the shift motor? As it only deals with the 4x4 High and 4x4 Low shifting, Im assuming with it removed from the transfer case but connected, it will only move when shifting from...

Thank you for your replies, I was expecting the dash 4x4 lights to flash but they don't. When I turn the 4x4 knob the light for that section lights up. With the shift motor connected the 4x4 low light comes ON, no matter what the 4x4 knob is turned too. Transfer case not in low 4x4...

Hello, The explorer with the issue is an Australian Explorer XLT 1998 Auto SOHC Problem first appeared as hot air coming from the dash vent only with no other directional flow able to select. Obviously check for a vacume leak, this is where the mystery begins. Basically found an extra...

G'day, Been a little slack, as I actually joined a long time ago but have not posted yet. Not needed to, as every time I've had an issue with the explorer, I've been able to fix the problem with the info on this forum. So thank you for that, but I should of said G'day much sooner...
