Check fuses
Neighbor came over last week...."4wd isnt working, what gives with these Fords?" (hes a Chevy guy, but both of their Chevys are currently sitting outside my shop in need of repairs, so we bartered 6 months ago for a v6 Ranger we built) "Fix or repair daily, I guess they were'nt joking when they labeled them with F O R D" you see we just got done fixing a rusted out freeze plug that popped out of the side of his 4.0 Ranger engine...took me two days t ofix that one and now the 4x4 quit working........... I said "check the fuses"
He said "fuses?"
I said "yeah you know ELECTRONIC SHIFT transfer case, it has a fuse"
He looked puzzled
two seconds later I found his ESOF fuse blown...and replaced it, 4x4 working again
I said " see here fuse 26 circuits covered ESOF, Dome lamp, aux power port, etc etc" he says "Oh I was just messing with that dimmer switch the other day"
and I said "that's when your 4x4 quit working right?"
He says "I guess so"
I said
"ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FUSES FIRST!"
Ive been around these trucks a long time............
