To turn off your 4wheel drive you push the auto button. no light will come on and your vehicle will be ready to drive normal. only use low when stuck or steep incline..and high in snowy weather but never on dry roads

Sounds like you have a separated front tire.

if you have air conditioning you will need to take it to a garage and recover the r134, you will need to remove the dash to allow you to remove the heater box, it's an ugly job, I've done a dozen or so and can do it in about 6 hours now, the first time it was closer to 11 hrs, good luck

I agree w/ Dave, if u have a part time system, u should not use 4wd on dry pavement, if it's full time 4wd, there are 3 couplings that shift torque to different axles to to allow wheels to spin at different revolutions, and u should not experience the 'driveline wind-up' ,or torque bind. If u do, the system needs to be inspected for problems.

SOURCE: humming sound

it could also mean a low fluid problem. I'd check that first.

sounds like its stuck.this was never a good system. if you have the owners manual follow it to a T. ussually if you find a dirt lot engage the 4x4 run it for a few then shut it off. then back up ten to twenty feet this will set things right

Ford exployer 2000 xlt 4 wheel drive... started and then stoped, was suggested it was the air filter

The air filter would have to be totally plugged to kill a running engine. Highly doubtful the air filter is causing your problem.

I have a 2001 Ford Exployer. The steering wheel pinches the turn signal wire.

Special tools are necessary to take off the steering wheel and the lock plate underneath it. Have it repaired by a mechanic that possesses those tools.

Does my 2003 ford explorer sport have front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. my email is [email protected]

it is most likely an automatic awd, 4 hi is full time 4 wheel drive, 4 lo is full time 4 wheel drive but at a very low gear ratio and should not exceed 25 mph or could cause damage. and DO NOT shift into 4 lo while vehicle is in motion. Auto is a 2 wheel drive but automatically engages into 4 wheel drive under heavy acceleration.

My 1999 Ford Expedition 4 wheel drive service light on the 4 wheel drive is on..saying "service 4 wheel drive"? what does this mean and is it harmful to use the 4 wheel drive with the light on?

Usally these warning lights come on for a reason.
I would have someone plug a OBD II reader in and retrieve the code.
The code should be able to tell you specific information on why the light is on.
Until you find out I would not us the 4 wheel drive function.

How to shift into 4wd

Ford has 2 types of 4x4 system engagement. One is a knob on the dash that you just turn to 4wheel drive high or low. The other system is the 4x4 transfer case shift on the transmission tunnel (hump) between the driver and passenger seats. To shift into 4 wheel drive high while driving, just let off the gas and shift transfer case into 4H position, and continue driving. To shift into 4 wheel drive Low, stop the vehicle completely, put transmission in neutral, shift transfer case into 4Low position, put trans. in gear, and start driving. I am assuming before doing the above, you have locked in ( turned the front hubs to 4 wheel drive position.) Any further questions, let me know.

2003 ford exployer 5R55W no reverse

My Mom also had her trans rebuilt and was later told that flushing the trans and replacing the filters could have solved the problem without the total rebuild ! After it was rebuilt she had the same problems all over again and it turned out that the trans seal was broken. Does it spit out transmission fluid when you drive it? If so, this is might be the problem!
