-   I have a 1995 Explorer and the 4 wheel drive lights will start flashing and then the windows will not work. I have one stuck in the down position.
It usually will start working after a few hours but not this time.-   crowellm_200

-   Not exactly the same but while driving the 4 wheel drive light cycles on intermittantly.. Also at the same time the electric windows fail, sometimes the heater fan and other accessories are affected. Usually after driving especially on rough roads everything starts working. Now the engine cranks but will not start on occasion. After sitting for a while (minutes to hours) it starts like nothing is wrong. Most of these problems seem to show up mostly on start up but not 100% of the time. Checking for bad grounds and loose connections has not helped.-   sailing32

Does the 4x4 "actually" work because this is a signal that the system has a problem. Its like a check engine light that comes on or flashes when there is a problem with the engine or emission system.
