Manual or auto?I have 94 ranger 4.0. When I engage 4wd it will not shift out of 1st gear.
Yes,Does a 94 have a 4wd shift module?
But would that cause the tranny not to shift while in 4?You are in N with brake on and go to 4LO, no 4LO.
Digital Trans Range sensor has to indicate you are in N. And brake is depressed.
No shift to LO indicates open or shorted 4LO switch
other possible causes
4x4 harness open or shorted
damaged GEM or xfr case position switch
Damaged PCM
that's for '97 but should be same for '94
Ron would know
Because it's all hooked together via the electronic modules and if the 4x4 switch has a fault "the system" sees that and the diagnostics says that "early or delayed shifts" can be caused by a failed 4x4 switch and it only happens when he goes to 4x4 so it implies the switch.But would that cause the tranny not to shift while in 4?
