Hi

MY explorer is not shifting to 4lo. It shifts to 4hi but when i shift to 4lo the light on the dash doesnt light up.

I am trying to shift with the car in neutral (its a manual), foot on brake, stationary etc.


What should i do to try and troubleshoot what the problem is??

Thanks

Matt

You have to have your foot on the clutch too.
 






yep i do
 






Could be a problem with the shift motor then. There is a thread somewhere here on how to rebuild it.
 






i had the same problem, my button was messed up. i had to force it past where it stopped to make it shift. changed the button over, or dial i guess its called and it works great. sometimes you might need to roll the truck forward a hair and then shift into 4lo
