#77 of 86 4x4 blinking lights by harley55 Aug 14, 2009 (5:33 am)
Been reading about the recurring blinking 4x4 light problems. Last night I started to have the same thing happen. Also last night when I pushed the unlock button, the lights did not come on and the seat did not automatically adjust when I put the key in the ignition. Are all of these related? Sounds like the 4x4 blinking light issue may be a bad control module?

Replying to: newdavidq (Feb 28, 2007 7:12 am) Hi, I have a 2003 EB Ford Explorer and am experiencing the intermittant flashing lights (3 times every 2 minutes). But I also have a problem with no dome lights, the seat doesn't automatically adjust, the automatic locks don't engage, and 4x4 is not operating. Did you have these problems or similar problems as well? Replies to this message: fillr68 (Aug 16, 2009 3:39 pm)

Replying to: harley55 (Aug 16, 2009 8:38 am) what lights are flashing? all the power locks will not lock? have you checked any fuses for the dome lights ? 4x4 maybe a shift motor issue..
#80 of 86 4X4 High, Anti Traction and ABS light? by nbcct Aug 30, 2009 (5:33 am)
Hi, I have a 2003 EB Edition explorer, with about 160,000 miles on it. I just replaced the left rear wheel bearing and both rear brakes and rotors. Since then my ABS light and traction control light comes on and stays on also then while Im driving down the highway my 4x4 high light will flash on and off. Occasionally after I have been parked for awhile and start it back up to take off it will sputter like one of my wheels are dragging after stopping and trying to go a couple of feet at a time, it will take right off and run fine minus the lights. Could this be caused by a bad rear wheel sensor? or something else? Also is there something I may be able to disengage temporarily until the problem is resolved?

Replying to: nbcct (Aug 30, 2009 5:33 am) Did you ever get the answer? I have the same thing going on and when my wheels are turned significantly the whole front end sounds like it is going to break. Popping and jumping and feeling like a drag on the power. Replies to this message: nbcct (Sep 18, 2009 2:10 am) lai642 (Oct 21, 2009 3:48 pm) nbcct (Oct 22, 2009 12:39 am)

Replying to: kevinsky (Sep 17, 2009 5:02 pm) Nope not yet, still waiting. I ordered the part thinking it may be that when it comes in and I get it put on I will let you know if it fixes the problem. For right now I pulled the fuse for the abs which disables the abs and it has not sputtered yet (knock on wood) and that was two weeks ago. So I am thinking it has something to do with it. I fouund the part for $35.00 on the web so we will see. Replies to this message: lai642 (Oct 21, 2009 3:48 pm) nbcct (Oct 22, 2009 12:39 am)

Replying to: nbcct (Sep 18, 2009 2:10 am) I'm having the same issue...i am so frustrated with this vehicle. I even changed the rear wheel speed sensor and now it seems to have gotten worse. I am beginning to hate this ride. If its not one thing its another. And the stealership is just guessing anyway and hoping i just say fix it so they can charge me an arm and leg. They were actually going to charge me 2.5 hrs of labor at 100+ an hour for a job that takes 15 minutes ...sad indeed. Please post if you find or have found a resolution Replies to this message: nbcct (Oct 22, 2009 12:39 am)

Replying to: lai642 (Oct 21, 2009 3:48 pm) Since my post I have changed my rear wheel sensor and put the fuse back in all of which took me maybe 10 minutes to do myself. All my lights are out and my 4x4 high doesnt seem to be kicking in. Yeah Approx 2 months ago I replaced my hub also. Everything was on the rear drivers side that got replaced. The ford dealership should be able to hook it up to a computer and give you the exact diagnosis especially to which side it is on because there are two sensors on the back one for each wheel. I hope this helps (knock on wood, it worked for me).   I know what you mean by hating the ride I love my explorer but when one thing goes it seems to all go at once especially after you have paid the vehicle off. In time hopefully it will all come together.
#85 of 86 2003 Sport Track 4X4 Low is out. by tchrist36 Nov 05, 2009 (11:51 am)
Shortly after I bought this truck new in 2003 the 4x4 low engage button stopped working. 4X4 High still works. Since I rarely use 4 wheel in daily commute unless it snows, I never took it in to have it looked at.   Any simple things to check that might cause this, (fuse, linkage plug, pin...?)
