Hello all,
I am new to the list. I purchased a 2006 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab 4.0L with auto transmission with 58K miles. When I purchased it the 4wd worked fine. While trying to put it into 4Hi, nothing happens. So far I have checked the fuses and pulled the negative battery cable for 6 minutes, to no avail. I do not hear the clicking of the switch nor do I hear the motor under the vehicle engage or move. When started, the 4x4 hi and 4x4 low lights come on and go off as they should. I contacted the previous owner and he told me that it happened once before and he just pulled the battery cable to "reset" it. Does this sound like the switch or the control module? I have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer that had the same problem. I simply pulled and replaced the 4x4 fuse when I had the problem over the course of 2 years and it worked. Eventually the 4x4 Control Module went out and had to be replaced. Where is the control module located in this vehicle? I am asking because my search of the forum threads brought up older Explorer/Ranger 4x4 questions about this. I don't see many posts regarding a 2006 so I figured I would ask. Any help anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
