4wd

Rear driver side

Hi Folks, I'm looking at ordering a new Explorer but am debating whether I should get FWD or 4WD. I live in central MA where we do get snow but I've always managed to get around fine in my FWD sedan. I have trouble justifying paying $2K for 4WD that will get used a handful of times each year...

Just wanted to say hello. My name is Keith and I am having final talks with the dealer regarding an order for a 2013 Explorer Limited with 4WD. I am fairly happy with the amount they are offering for my trade, a 2004 Infiniti G35 with 6 speed manual and 64000 miles. Going from a 6 speed coupe...

2000 Ford Explorer; 110,000 miles; 4405-15 Transfer Case. During the last snow, I was driving the Explorer and put it in 4wd high and low just to run it. Also ran it in "auto" on slippery road. Ever since, with the switch in auto, the vehicle seems stuck in 4wd (noises and binds during...

I have an explorer with electric 4WD and auto-locking hubs. When switching to 4WD, whether High or Low, the dummy light on the dash comes on, but the front axle never gets power. The engine turns the front drive shaft whether in 2WD or 4WD, but the axle doesn't get power. From this...

Hi everyone, My name is Mike, and I found your forum while doing research for a used Explorer. I previously had a 2002 Eddie Bauer, but was broadsided by a teenage driver on her phone, so the insurance company totaled me out. Bummer, I was intending on keeping it for a long, long time...

Hello, I've been trying to troubleshoot my 4WD problems recently and have not been able to figure it out, despite my reading and rereading some threads that are related to my problem. So, I have automatic locking hubs on my 92, and the 4WD always worked like a champ in the past, typically I...

Hello everyone! My friend's 2000 Mountaineer (same as explorer of that year, right?) blew the front differential on a road trip and instead of spending the 1000 the mechanic says it will cost to replace it, I was thinking we could just remove it and make it a 2wd vehicle. I read on this...

Howdy, my name is Wes and I come from Arkansas. I currently own a 2004 XLT and am looking to purchase a 2011 XLT 4WD with a trailer tow package and dual air conditioning/heater controls package. Needless to say, there are hardly any 4WD vehicles out there or if there is the dealership...

Hey guys, last weekend when I was pulling my boat out using a not very good launching ramp that requires 4wd, I was shocked to have the left front hub "shunk" out of being engaged only to have it "shunk" back in a second later. Got the boat out though... When I got home I took the hub off to...

4wd doesn't engage, light doesn't come on any ideas for troubleshooting?

I have found this web site to be extremely valuable in solving problems with my family's 1992 Ford Explorer XLT 4-door. The SUV has over 250K and is going strong. My son got a new stereo for Christmas, and a Best Buy technician installed it for $200. About a month later he had to use the...

Hello all, I've recently been witnessing the "beginning of the end" of my transfer-case's natural life. In efforts to extend the use of my truck, it has been converted to 2Wheel drive from the case forward. Knowing that a transfer case rebuild is likely necessary in the near future, i'm...

I know they don't make a true lift kit for my explorer, but I see many of you have rigged one with coil spacers, etc. Does it feel more rollover prone? Any other suggestions regarding lifting it somehow would be much appreciated (could I fit 33's?). I recently got my stock explorer stuck on...

Ok so my electronic 4x4 is not working right. The light will come on dimly when I start the truck up cold, but it is not engaged. Nothing happens when I push the button even the light stays on. Any other time nothing, no lights, no sounds, no 4wd. Before I start spending money I wanted to be...

As the title says i am sorry, im sure this has been covered a million times but i work to much to read thru all the threads. My 4x4 wont engage, i did have time to read about testing the 4x4 computer, did and it passed. No lights on dash or by buttons when pressed, where should i start? Im new...

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...

Hello, I have a 2005 Explorer XLT I am having problems with the 4WD. When I start driving the explorer it feels like the 4wd is engaging and disengaging and the 4wd light on the dash comes on and off. The 4wd selector remains in 4wd auto when this happens. I can select 4wd high or low and the...

Hello all, I took my 02 Explorer on the beach a few times this week and now cant get it to come out of 4wd and back to auto. #17 fuse was blown and I am not sure if the 4wd CM will do this or the trans case shift motor or less likely, the dash switches. The replacement fuse blew when I...
