I have a 2002 Sport Trac stuck in 4 wheel high. This happened about a week ago. At that time I pulled all fuses ant they were good. I reinserted all fuses and problem solved. Last night, same problem occured. All fuses are still good. 4 WD light on dash is off, but vehicle is still in 4WD. I tried switching between 2WD and 4 WD while in neutral several times and also backing up with no luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John

Either the 4X4 control module Ford Part 1L54-7H417-AE or AC or AD dependent on your year and VIN in the kick panel on the passenger side is bad or most likely the motor that controls the shifting in the transfer case. There is an excellent HOW TO REPAIR thread in myexplorerforums. Or this TSB * TSB #041810 -- 4X4 NOT ENGAGING OR INTERMITTENT 4X4 ENGAGEMENT - VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO 4/1/2004. *TT (NHTSA ID #10013112, JANUARY 01 2004)

My daughter's 2002 Sport Trac does not engage into 4High or 4Low. I have been told the control module is behind the kick panel and also on the transfer case. I have also been told it is behind the radio (center console). I have not found it anywhere. The dealer is even confused. Does anyone know where the selector module actuator is located? Thx! Bill
