I have a 94 ford ranger. The 4-high works great but will not go in low range.
no lights light up and does not engage.

have you tried replacing the ignition coil pack? that could be where the problem is.

I am having problems on the electrical part of the 4x4 last night the 4wd worked perfectly when i got home the dome light and the 4wd stopped working. fuse on the panel keeps blowing everytime i replace it.checked all the wires from fuse box to the 4wd actuator and also the transfer case.no wires broke. everytime the electronic 4wd box is plugged up it blows the fuse and still doesnt have a working dome light. is there a relay or something that im missing?

#170 of 208 4x4 disengaging by todd98ranger

I havge a 1998 ranger 4x4 with auto locking hubs. The issue I have that seems to differ from most that I have read in this thread is that I am able to engage my 4x4 each time I turn my knob to a 4x4 position (with a clicking followed by a clunk if moving or quietly if not moving) but, it will disengage on it's own within a short distance without any sign of disengagement. I can test it by turning the wheels sharply or stopping and then giving gas. I'm close to ordering the manual lock outs but, wonder if this may sound more like a vaccum issue to someone with more experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good evening,
It`s been a While since I was here Last... I have an 06 Ranger. It`s winter in Pa. again. So the Ranger is acting up again. I changed the Plug wires. Frequent oil changes. Only use 4 wheel when I Really need it. It seemed to run Fine during summer off Road. But when it`s blowing & drifting snow . It started again this week. Feels like you are hitting Bumps or sticks in the Road when the Road was clear . On a good note it will engage in 4 Hi & 4 L ... We do not have a Garage to work on it at home. My 98 Ranger did not do that. so what Changed during those years . The bugs should be worked out by now. Let me know if you figure it out. Prayerhiker
