Push button 4x4

What's the main reason these stop workin? A relay switch? The explorer I just got has pushbutton and the previous owner said that it works sometimes.. Ive tried a few different times and it has yet to come on.. You need to be fully stopped before you push the button right? Any thoughts on how or what I could do to try n get it working again would be great! Thanks..

There have been quite a few threads here regarding the transfer case shift motors. Try searching the forum.

What I found on my "93" was the motor mechanism ( not sure what they call it ? ) underneath along the frame (drivers side) approximately under the driver, black box unit that ties to the transfer unit.
The motor in that unit was failing.
Bought a new one.
NOT THAT HARD OF A JOB TO DO !

Do you remember how much it was? Ill have to call around.. Is there a way to test the motor or no?

I think I may have the same issue. I hit the 4x4 Button and get nothing. No light. No indicator on the panel. but I do here a faint click in the rear of the vehicle. I can't tell if its on or not or if it doesnt work at all.

As I eluded to in post #2 above, try a search on this forum. Lots of information. I did a quick search for the keyword "transfer" and got 100 hits, many of which relate to the transfer case switch/motor.

I for 1 don't have alot of time to 'search' that's why i ask questions.. I have 2 jobs and a newborn so it would be alot easier for someone to just answer my question to the best they can they to tell me to go search.. if i had time i would sorry

Ahh, but that's where the problem lies. If people did use the search function, there wouldn't be 100 threads all dealing with the same topic. Plus, you'd have your answer by now. Sorry, I don't have time to search to forum only to copy and paste the information into another thread. I have a full time job, 2 kids at home, a few hobbies, and am currently on business travel.
