another 4x4 problem.

[rstage79]

Well..Took my truck down to the dealership. When i press my 4h or 4l button nothing lights up. You know the safety thing that lets you know to go into neutral. The dealershipsaid might be a electrical problem. So they ordered a new button for it. i GO back down this weekend so that they can put it in. They think its the button cause there is electricity getting to the button. Do you think that will fix it or should i beat the crap out of the shift motor???? ADVICE WANTED..

the 02+ explorers have had alot of electrical problems with the 4x4 most seems to be the computer, i would not touch your shift motor

Well.. i think that it is also.. cause sometimes the 4x4 high would flash on the instrument panel. Good thing im covered by the lemon law.. heheh..
