What to do??! 4 wheel low not kicking in!
I was out yesterday running in 4 wheel high and I switched to 4 wheel low and the light didn't come on, I couldn't tell if it kicked in or not. I don't think it did. It's been cold here, hasn't gotten above 32 F lately and was wondering what is going on with it.
I do this periodically while I"m at school to keep the gears working well. I never exceed 10 miles per hour while I do this around campus.
Anyone know what's going on???

north44, i did and found the link and downloaded the manual. So I have a pdf copy now and I read through the thing.
Wow i still feel so dumb...
That's prolly why it didn't work the last time I tried to engage the 4x4 when I had gotten stuck cuz I didn't stick it in neutral.

No need to beat up on yourself by feeling "dumb" - it's pretty difficult to know something that's in the manual if you don't have a copy to reference.
Anyway, the nice thing about the people in this forum is that they are generally as helpful as can be - ask a question here, and usually there is someone who can answer it.
Also, please remember that there are no dumb questions (though there are questions that can be posed in a dumb manner) except those that aren't asked.
Pretty philosophical, huh?
Anyway, glad everything was resolved satisfactorily.

Safety feature for engaging 4wd LO requires being in neutral with a foot on the brake (automatics) - guess Ford didn't want anyone going into LO under any other conditions - understandable given the LO gearing.

Dude...that's deep! (just screwing with you!) But that really is the truth!

Just to show you that the people on this forum often know more about the vehicle than even the people who sell/work on them.
In fact, with all the members on-line who are willing to pitch in (with answers/information/opinions/experiences/etc.), it's pretty hard NOT to arrive at some sort of right answer.
