Can anyone help me? Have 2001 Ranger. The lights on the dash blink 5 times and then go off for about three minutes. Then they blink 5 times again. These are the lights that indicate whether you are in 4wd hi, 4wd lo, or 2wd. The 4 wheel drive will not engage. Bought the truck used and do not have an owners manual.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

EarlM

Crawl under the truck and make sure the shift motor wires are attached. It is on the back of the Transfer case. If they are, then it could be a bad shift motor.

Please don't double post, this topic is already in the transfer case forum.

Thanks

It's trying to flash a code, but I can't find the flash code chart. You will need to find out what codes are in the memory.
