About a year ago I inherited a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT from my grandpa with a 4.0 L to drive it. The 4x4 has never worked.
When I start the truck up, neither of the 4x4 lights are lit up. I have manually shifted it into 4x4 by taking the motor off and shifting it with a wrench, and it worked just fine from what I remember. I just replaced the shifter motor today with no change in its function.
A lot of the posts on here mentioned faulty 4x4 pcm’s and switches but a lot of the posts confused me and I wanted to ask for help directly. Is there any way I can check these systems before i go out and dump a bunch of my money on parts that don’t need replacing? Thank you for the help in advance. I am happy to provide more information if needed.
