4x4 won't work

Hi Margaret , Does the glow plug wait to start indicator light on the dash come on ? And then go off after a couple of min. ? Check fuse K 20 amp in the under hood fuse box .This is one of three B+ power supplies to the glow plug control module > Two fusible link's are also B+ power supplies to the module . There is a 10 amp fuse located in the inside fuse box , fuse # 17 , this is power for the indicator light !

If the 15amp fuse marked number 4 has power, you should have power into the headlight switch and then out to the lights.

It seems that there is a battery draw that is shorting out the fuse. you need to trace the wire back to the point of power and see what is going on. My theory would be that some place in the power out (from the fuse) it is grounding to the chassis. I wouldn't even be able it give you and idea where to start considering how many wires there are, but if you can isolate that wire and chase it back to the cluster and the gauges you will find the issue.

Fuse number 41, also check fuse number 35 and number 2. I found those 3 fuses for the instrument cluster.

Check fuse 28 in the fuse block under the left side of the dash. There is also a relay for the trailer park lamps in that same fuse block. The fuse and relay are the trailer parking lamps and run independantly of the vehicles parking lights. You can also try backprobing the other trailer plug (you should have one 7 pin and one 4 pin) to see if there is power at the park light pin. If there is power at the other trailer plug than the fuse and relay are bad and you may have a bad/corroded plug or bad wring to the plug that doesn't work.

There is another recall for the cruise control. Once Ford added the inline fuse, electrical problems with transmissions, brake lights, and dash indicators started.

The dealer can run your Vin# and the recall is free.

Locate the fuse box under the dash panel. Pull the fuses one at a time and inspect. They are very hard to judge if the fuse(s) are blown unless you pull them out to inspect.

Check for corrosion or broken wire at the power distribution box.

In regards to my 4x4 problem, I checked everything out again and it turned out I got a defective GEM. Problem solved. The way i figured it out was if the 4x4 light on the dash is on all the time, unplug the GEM 26 pin connector, if the light goes out replace the GEM.
