1998 3.0
Ford Ranger XLT
extended Cab automatic transmission auto TC
I changed my electric motor switch
I tested the plug for ohms , it has current .
I checked my 4x4 2wd/ 4hi / 4lo switch, it appears to be lit and working.
I took my dash cluster completely out and changed the bulbs. I tested them multiple times. My overdive off bulb worked, but when I changed the bulb it stopped working. I realized the pcb paper was warped a tiny bit so I taped it down and got the Overdrive off indicator to work again .
my 4x4 dash lights wont turn on and wont flash when turning the engine on. I checked for cut wires and dont see any cut. I pulled all fuses in the side panel and theyre fine .
What I have not checked:
relays ( is it possible for half of my dash indicators to work and others not with a bad relay?)
Is this possibly a drl control ? I am confused WHY my 4wd lights arent working ! Its frustrating because it should be simple .
I got under my truck and I see that the front drive shaft was in gear and working when I switched to 4lo / 1st gear and crawled forward. I know the 4wd is working , but please someone lead me the right direction to fixing this.
