99 Expedition drivetrain problem.

Im looking to purchase a 99 Expedition and the add states,...

'' 4x4 does not work, has trouble putting shifter into park,starts up only in neutral''

Are these problems related somehow? Would it be an easy fix?

If more info is needed,I can try to get more.

The 4x4 not working could simply be the shift motor having gone bad. The shifter not going into park is likely two loose torx bolts on the shifter arm under the dash. Both are very common issues with that year.

What about the starting only in neutral? Related to the loose shifter

Yes, the cable is not travelling far enough to tell the truck it is in park.

I suppose it depends on what's clicking. Is it the transfer case or the shift motor that's clicking?
