My 4 wheel drive doe not she any lights or activity when switching it

[bcuda77]

Hello all, first post in this forum. I have a 2001 4WD Sport Trac Sport model. I see no lights on the 4WD switch and no lights on the dash indicators. Any weak point in the system I can check? anyone have an issue like this?



Thanks

Probably bad 4wd module passenger side kick panel.

I would check the 4Wd module fuse. Do you hear a clicking behind the kick panel when you select 4Hi ?. If you do, your shift motor may be gone. It is an easy job. I replaced mine and got the codes cleared and all good. You did not indicate whether you have 4wd at all. Use dielectric grease on the connector if you have to replace the shift motor..Good luck.

Do have 4WD and thee is no clicking or light anywhere. Fuse is good. Will get to that soon to re plug it and see if that helps.

Most likely the module/transfer case. They are often neglected but do require routine maintenance. Located just behind passenger side kick panel as Todd mentioned. Not too expensive to replace. Search youtube for how-tos. If you cant find a video with a sport trac try a ranger 4.0 as they have same module.
