Hi, Sometimes (but not all of the time) when I attempt to put my truck into 4WD the transfer case will not engage, and the little lights in the instrument panel will blink a few times and go off. But, if I put the truck in park, shut the truck off and crank it back up again and put it in...

Ok. My 97 Explorer XLT was behaving very nicely until one day, I had to jumpstart it because the starter would not make any noise when I turned the key. The battery was fine, I know this because we had to bridge the gap between the two bolts on the starter relay to get the thing started. I...
