not going in 4x4 dash light says its in 4x4 wont go out 2010 model

4high light stays on and never flashes when you try changing to 2WD or 4low?
Flashing 4WD light when moving the dash switch usually means shift motor issue

Check fuse #27 in ENGINE fuse box

Check fuses 10 and 28 in CAB fuse box

Is the Ranger IN 4WD, or is the dash light incorrect?
If you are in 4WD when you turn you can "feel" the front wheels pulling you, "feels" much different in 2WD


2010 4x4 system has 3 parts
Switch on the dash, never breaks, just 3 resistors in a box

4x4CM(control module), its behind the radio in the dash, in 2004 and up, known issue, but usually no 4WD lights at all when it fails
4x4CM is what makes the "click" noise when changing from 2WD or 4WD and back, it has 2 relays inside

Shift Motor, fails from disuse more than over use, but its the ONLY moving part in the system
You can tap it with a hammer, the "motor" part, and see if it starts working again, the brushes get stuck from disuse
It can be pulled off and tested using vehicles battery or other 12v power

2011 Ranger XLT - Transfer case will not shift - DTC 1891-6F, 1867-2F

Gents - Been dealing with no 4x4 on the 2011 since last year. As of now, both the transfer case motor and the 4x4 control module are new. Threw the 4x4 module in today, and still do not have 4wd. ForScan is showing me two different error codes with old or new 4x4 modules: P1867-6F -...
