4X4 not working and sometimes 4X4 lights on, but still not working.

Hi!!!!!!

I have an Explorer 1994 , and my 4X4 is not working. Sometimes when I start the car, the light indicator for both normal and low is on, but the 4 wheel drive is still not working. If I try to engage the 4X4 , nothing is happening, not even the lights (4X4)is turning on.

I live in Gdynia Poland, and Ford will not even have a look at my car. (We do not take service on American cars her, even if it is a Ford) Of course I do not have an owners manual, it was not with the car when I bought it.

My automat is working perfectly, and I have no other problems with the car.
Can somebody help me? This is very frustating help:

My 4x4 wasn't working either. Occasionally, I'd get in and start the truck and the 4 high light was on, but the 4x4 is not physically working.
Replaced the transfer case and everything works great now, Takes about 20 minutes to replace

I feel a little bit better already, not so frustrated anymore.

how hard is that to install?! Cause i noticed mine a while back, but i was afraid it was gonna be thousands of dollars to fix. Mine started when I noticed the kid who had the truck before me, took off the plug (that goes into where the lights turn on) so he could install car audio equipment, replugged it in, sometimes it would light up one or the other, but never really work, so how hard is that to install? thanks.

before replacing the shift motor, read this thread, it might be something you can take care of yourself at no cost http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1102904
