4x4 lights flashing, no lock up
ok, I have searched, and can't find my exact problem, so I am posting a new thread. I ahve a '97 Ranger 4x4 4.0l with warn lockout hubs. Used my 4hi about three months ago, no problem. I have a u-joint on the pass side going bad, but still can go straight w/o problems. Today, I locked the hubs, went to my fav mud hole and couldn't get the transfer case to lock. All I get are the 4hi and 4lo lights on the dash flashing. Checked fuses in the box and the power dist. box under the hood. Nothing bad.
Anybody else have this problem? HELP!

And Earl is right. If you're a betting man, the most likely cause is the shift motor. But there are many other possibilities, too.

Well, I do have a snap on scan tool, and i plugged it in and it read the codes. None for the 4x4. So, I tried the smoke test, and lo and behold, it worked. Engaged, 4hi, 4lo and diengaged. So I put it on the rack and climbed underneath, and after a thorough inspection, figured on dirty connectors. Cleaned them all out, greased them up and put them back together. So far, so good.
