    1997 ford Explorer Trouble with 4 wheel drive

    The high low shift motor is a separate motor to change the transfer case gear ratio. That motor has nothing to do with locking in the front output shaft that runs the four wheel drive. The electro-magnet in the tranfer case is what does that. When you supply 12 volts DC think about a scrap yard...

The wire get a pulse voltage to it all the time on these control trac systems. In normal auto mode the ratio is about 20% front drive shaft 80% rear. The two hall sensors...

    New Key with VIN number

    yeah man on getting a third key made while you have 2! then you can program the duplicate yourself. My 2001 150 Truck only has one and they want 135.00 at the dealerships for the reprograming fee. It cost 130.00 for them to even look at your vehicle for normal repairs (Ford Diagnostic...

    New Key with VIN number

    The way I understand it is the 1997 was the last year that explorer did not use the Pats key system. You received a code tag with the original sets of keys. The dealer or locksmiths could enter the code into the key cutter and give you a new key. In 1998 the Pats system was used with the chip...

    Airbag light

    You know what,, I had a problem with a bad passenger side dash air bag and was getting the error code and couldn't go through inspection.

    98 SOHC runs for 3 sec. and dies. OBD codes included.

    if it's not the fuel pump/fuel restriction normally vacuum leaks or a bad maf sensor could shoot those codes If the vehicle has anti thief there is also a relay that supplies the voltage to the fuel pump if you don't have voltage but the fuses are good. Just for the heck of it, disconnect...

    4wd in a 97 sport wont work

    from listening to your symptoms i'd say you have no voltage going to that brown wire or the gem ground is faulty. A bad fuse, gem, wiring, front, or rear driveshaft sensors, ecm, could all effect this problem the way it seems on these 97's is that in order to have the variable...
