2002 Explorer with 2 problems...

[mjonesjr]

This is my work vehicle. It is a 2002 Explorer XLT. I have 2 problems with it right now.

1. The 4wd doesn't work. It is in 4 Auto (2 high), but wont shift into 4 High or 4 Low. I haven't checked any fuses yet; I plan on checking the fuses tonight.

2. The windshield washers (front and rear) stopped working today. It worked fine, then it acted like it was out so I refilled it. Once it was full, it still wouldn't work. Again, I haven't checked any fuses yet, but plan to tonight. If a fuse was blown, wouldn't the wipers not work since they are on the same fuse? Could it be a front and rear pump relay?


Any help would be great.

I would do as u said and check fuse for wipers , the four wheel sounds like maybe the shift motor.Hopefully its just froze up.

Is there anyway to check the shift motor? The 4wd hasn't worked for a while. Now that I need it I remember it doesn't work and I am going to fix it.

Try tapping the motor with a hammer while you have someone engage the 4WD.

Will do, but that will have to wait until either I get it back to our shop at work or the snow/ice melts.

I couldn't get the washers to pump. The relays for both of them click when the button is pressed.

I got the washers fixed.

I can't figure out the 4wd system though. All the fuses are good, but I don't think I am getting power to the motor. I check the yellow and orange wire at the motor plug, and when someone hit the shift button on the dash, there wasn't any power that came across those wires.

Anyone have any other ideas on the 4wd system?

Yup I do. Probably needs the 4x4 module. It's behind the glovebox.

Do you know where I can get one?
