SOURCE: replaced braked pads - now VDC and Slip Lights are on

I would take the car to almost any auto parts store and ask them to check the ODB II computer for codes and to reset the "Check engine light". Get the code that they tell you and it should go a long way to pointing you in the right direction to fixing this problem. It might also be that when you pumped the brakes that you somehow set a code in the computer from the ABS system and now that you have the brakes pumped up and working correctly resetting the Check engine light might fix your problem.

Good luck! Write back with any code you get and I'll see if I can help you figure out what the problem might be.

The abs and the 4x4 should not be related. The grinding rubbing noise that you describe when you turn is consistant with the way your car would behave turning on dry pavement when the 4x4 is engaged. You very well could have a sensor problem, but it sounds like (from your description of the problem), that there is more than 1 issue. And yes, often a sensor replacement simply requires unplugging and unmounting then reversing the process. Auto Zone or Advance can sell you the part, but have them check the codes to confirm that diagnosis...(They will do that for free), they can show you how the sensor attaches and the location of the part. The 4x4 could be a selenoid or sensor related issue as well. When you go in, tell them about the 4x4 and be on the lookout for related code faults for that problem. Explorers and Sport Trac models with the push button 4x4 have a history of issues with the unit that mounts on the transfer case. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!
