#103 of 120 1990 ranger over heating in the beach sand by putnumranger May 14, 2009 (7:19 pm)
I have 90 model ranger that runs fine on the highway, but as soon as you hit the beach sand the temp gauge starts to climb. I have flushed the cooling system, I have even removed the thermostat. It helped some, I was able to get down the beach a little bit more before it boiled over.

Replying to: grumpy77 (Apr 15, 2009 9:05 am) To shift into or out of 4low you must come to a complete stop, keep the brake pedal depressed, shift into neautral, then move selector switch. This is for electronic 4x4 switch with automatic trans.   The proceedure for standard shift with electronic 4x4 will require the clutch pedal depressed instead of the brake pedal.   Any trans with manual shift 4x4 generally requires complete stop, put trans in neautral, shift the transfer case into the 4 wheel mode, then shift the trans back into gear.   If you encounter difficulty shifting the transfer case into 4x4, leave it in 2 wheel and back up about 20 ft, shift the trans into neautral while still rolling for about the last 5 to 10 ft, come to a complete stop then try shifting the transfercase into 4x4 mode. If you have the owners manual check for the proceedure described there.

Replying to: loganmd (Jan 21, 2008 12:54 pm) Check this out loganmd. I also have a 02 4x4 ranger. and of coarse my 4x4 does not switch into any 4x4 motion and the lights do not come on. So far I had my sisters husband look at it since he is a mechanic. He checked it all out and thought it was my transfer case motor. So I bought one put it in and still nothing. I have been trying to figure out this problem for about one year... so far. I did meet this guy on the street a couple of days ago. He said that his 97 problem was a switch on the firewall directly behind the motor and costed $400 to fix it. Now I'm having my brother-n-law look up what he can find at his shop about the switch. I'll let you know what happens. If you hear of anything or get yours fixed please let me know. I have been without 4x4 for two winters now. And it sucks to have people push me out and ask, isn't your truck a 4x4. I hate that!

Replying to: cschwartz2 (Jun 12, 2009 4:35 am) The 4x4 control module is a common cause for this on these Rangers. No need to go without 4 wheel drive! The module is located inside the cab and it is an easy fix.

Replying to: brucelinc (Jun 12, 2009 5:36 am) Where in the cab is it? And do I need to replace the whole module, or flip a switch or what? Thanks for your feed back! Replies to this message: wiwally (Jun 12, 2009 1:07 pm) cschwartz2 (Jun 18, 2009 10:34 am) brucelinc (Jun 12, 2009 4:54 pm)

Replying to: cschwartz2 (Jun 12, 2009 5:56 am) 4x4 CM is located behind the lower kick panel on the passenger side, just below the dash (not on the firewall, but along the side, to the forward side of the door hinges) your prob sounds just like the issue i had. Module took care of it ($85 off ebay Replies to this message: cschwartz2 (Jun 18, 2009 10:34 am)

Replying to: cschwartz2 (Jun 12, 2009 5:56 am) Yep, what wiwally said. I bought mine at a Ford dealer and I think it was around $150 but I don't remember for sure.

Replying to: wiwally (Jun 12, 2009 1:07 pm) Thanks guys, I will definitely try it out. Here's for hoping!!! In all I'm surprised that Ford did not recall this problem. Seems like everyone who owns a Ford Ranger with 4x4 has had some type of problem with it! Rediculous!!!!
#111 of 120 4x4 locked in? by TERZI Jun 27, 2009 (3:33 am)
Hello all. My question is about a Mazda B4000. Seems my girlfriend hit a big pothole, and since then, the front end makes a loud roar while going down the road. Seems mostly coming from the driver side. Is it possible that it is stuck in 4 wheel drive on that side? Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
#112 of 120 2001 Ranger 4x4 module Q by fryguy Aug 08, 2009 (9:40 am)
Is it possible for the 4x4 module switch lights to be dark and still have the 4x4 engaged? I can hear the relay switching on the driver's side when I turn the switch but the lights do not seem to light up. I have a functional fuse in the correct spot.
