Hi everyone it has been awhile since I've posted on this site because I've had to get rid of my 93 Explorer well basically because it literally died on me. Best car I ever owned but she was pretty rusty and had over 300,000 miles on it.
Since than I've been looking for another one but instead I found a 1994 Mazda Navajo LX that was only $500.00 and it needed a starter. Once I put one in the car it ran like a dream even with 227,00 miles on it!
Now to get to my question: Are the Shift motors interchangable between the Explorers and the Navajo's?. I went ahead and read through the 4x4 troubleshooting guide(excellent write-up if I may say) and I think that is what is wrong with my Navajo. When you push the button you can hear the clicking but it wll not engage. The car sat for a good year without being driven so I actually am tempted to "smack" the motor with a hammer(not too hard though) to see if it will engage. What do you guys think? Also did I get a good deal on my Navajo and can I expect really high miles on this vehicle too? Thanks alot guys-sorry for the long post.
