How do I get my 02 explorer out of 4x4 so that it won't squalk the tires when parking.
I got an 02 explorer and I can’t seem to get it out of 4x4. I don't really care, but the person who bought it from me thinks it is tragic when he parks in a parking lot and all his tires are squalking. There is no illuminated 4x4 auto indicator, but the 4x4 high and 4x4 low light up correctly. I put it on the lift, and I can’t turn the front drive shaft independent of the rear drive shaft. So it’s in 4x4. I'm wondering if the little wire in the transfer case should be hot, then that activates the locking mechanism, or vise versa. My local dealership just sold me a control module in front of the glove box which did not fix it. They say it needs a transfer case and it’s discontinued. If that's the case, it should be serviceable and I could change the activation coil or whatever it is called that activates it. Any insight into this issue?
