hello:
I have a 2002 Explorer XLT with the push button 4x4 option. About a year ago, the 4x4 functionality failed and I have been trying to get it sorted ever since. I replaced the motor on the transfer case, checked all relays and fuses and finally replaced the 4xcm transmission control module. Upon changing the module, I coule not shift into drive and the shifter seemed locked in Park. Upon investigation, I discovered that the Brake fuse (no. 23) was blown. Replaced the fuse and it was blown as soon as I hit the brake to shift into drive. Changed the fuse and reinstalled the original module, hit the brake, and the fuse blew. I had a mechanic look at it and he advised me that I had a short in the electrical system. I asked him why it would happen even after I reinstalled the original part, he said he had no idea. I am thoroughly baffled and at my wits end. This truck is making me nuts now. I was wondering if anyone had the same issues, and how they managed to get this fixed. The truck drives fine, but I have no 4x4 and NY has been getting slammed with snow. Thank you very much for any advice/help.
