Okay, here's my story. I noticed a few months ago that my 4X4 wouldn't engage. I scanned through a few posts and went to the Explorer maintaince site and read about cleaning the contacts in the transfer case motor. I took the motor off and cleaned the contacts. After re-installing the motor, I still had no 4X4. So I took the motor off and saw that the cam was lined up to the 2H position. I started the car, push the 4H button, climber underneath and it was now lined up in the 4H position. I figured then that the motor was working right and it must have been the hubs. I decided to buy the WARN manual hubs and installed them this past week. (The inside of the automatic hubs was full of crud). I still have no 4X4 even after installing the manual hubs. However, the drive shaft from the transfer case to the front axle turns if I turn the wheels when they are locked (and it won't turn when the wheels are free). My dash lights come on and I hear clicks coming out of the rear driver side of the truck where that motor is. But still no 4X4. We are due to get a significant snow storm starting tomorrow and I would really love to have my 4WD working. I would greatly appreciate any further advice and I should be on here constantly checking for posts. Also, if anyone is interested in the FORD automatic hubs and the cam and other pieces that I didn't need for the manual hub conversion, let me know.
