Now I'm confused...
I'm planning on using an ES4406 on my V8 swap in my sport... are you saying that the switch on the dash won't make the transfer case work the same way as the one for the V6?

Hopefully someone else will chime in too, but from what I've seen, the explorer switch looks to be a variable resistance switch, I designed a completely different system utilizing the stock switch housing but different internal circuitry, the switch now has a constant 12v in and sends a 12v signal out on different channels, whatever position it is in is what gets a 12v signal to send to the relay bank, I took both 4x4 switches out of v6 explorers I think a '99 and '01 and both are the same, they have internal resistors mounted on a pcb. If you were to keep the stock circuitry and try to use the GEM route I am sure that you wouldn't have a problem however I am not certain, but knowing ford nothing changed from a v6 explorer to a v8 expedition,..... build your own circuit, hell with ford
