hello, i have a 1998 explorer E.B. and the 4x4 high and low lights flash 6 times every 2 min. had the codes pulled and was tolded to change the G.E.M. (which i did) also changed fluid in transfer case. still having same problem it only does this when it's cold outside. any ideas? thanks in advance.

 

used to disconnect and reconnect battery (-) and it would work for couple of days, but not anymore, anybody have anything similar or know how to fix this? thanks

 

Pull the T/C shift motor and clean the contact plate inside, replace the rubber bumper as well, it is getting out of sync and that confuses the GEM.

 

thanks for the advice i'll give that a try.

 

well pulled t/c shift motor and cleaned everything, rechecked contacts worked for one day, and that was it. back to same problem as above. does anybody know if there is a seperate 4x4 module, if so how to check? thanks

 

Did you replace the rubber bumper on the stop pin?

 

aquanaut20, where is the rubber bumper on the stop pin? pulled motor off transfer case didn't see any rubber only gasket around motor and x-case. it only has this problem when it's below 45 or so degrees if that matters. thanks again. matt

 

once you disassemble the contact housing and remove the contact plate, you will find the stop pin on the round gear plate.
