I ws out driving through unplowed parking lots and i got a little hung up droped it down to 4 lo. It took along time to engage but once it did i I got un stuck. I want to go back into 4 hi A miniute went buy Nothing. I shut it off turned it back on and nothing again waited a min or so turned it back on and both lights started to blink. Switch back to 2wd shut off and waited turned truck back on and no lights. tried going fowarded I was in 2wd hit the switch too 4wd Blinking lights. I got out of the snow with help of a friend. I have a friend whos fathers garage is heated via the floor let in sit there over night to warm up everything.
I tried again and still blinking lights. I think this will be the end of this X for me I have put in ove 3500 in last two months I thinks its time to get a newer X I saw a 2001 with 32,000 miles might have to go pay the dealer a visit. and tranny is showing signs of craping out again.
 






Before dumping the Ex, try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes. The system may just need to reset. Whether that works or not, chances are the shift motor just needs a little TLC - cleaning. See Brains Shift Motor Rebuild thread. It is really not that hard and best of all - FREE
