Solved Could it be the transfer case?

[lchambers]

My 1991 Explorer acts like it is in neutral when I put it in low range. The light on the dash comes on but when I put it in gear, it acts like it is in neutral. 4h and 2h work perfectly.

I would appreciate anyone's insight.

Assuming you have an electric shift tcase, it's probably the shift motor not turning far enough to reach 4lo. There's a thread around here somewhere on fixing it...

Would the 4L not be fully engaged if the indicator light is on?

Yes it can.

Time to disassemble... ..And rebuild. ... easy peasy... ...

Thank you much, I followed the instructions including the stop bushing and it works perfect.
