Brown wire mod question

[explorer4.0]

Could you just cap off the brown wire instead of putting a switch in?

 

[mikeh44]

yes you can no more 4x4 at all

You could but why? Its not that easy to get to. I had to pull the gauges out to get enough room to wire a switch in.

Correct. AWD is not computer controlled.

not to hijack or anything lol but when u do the brown wire mod u can get 2LO, in the manual it says not to use 4LO like on the road or anywhere with hard surface (or lots of traction something like that) anyway if u do the BWM and have 2LO, would the same rule apply? i wanna do the mod sometime soon just a off the wall question i had lol, thanks

No, should be fine to use 2 low on pavement. The front axle will not be powered at all. I haven't used 2 low on pavement but find myself using it more than 4 high or low offroad.
