2002 Explorer 4x4 light
My 2002 explorer sometimes engages the 4x4 high system when I start it. It also has engaged the 4x4 high system, while driving. If I press the 4x4 auto button, the 4x4 high light goes out and the explorer does disengage the 4x4 high system, but like I said it has a mind of it's own.
I've also noticed a howling sound, from underneath the vehicle, when I turn 90Deg, after I've disengaged the 4x4 high, by pressing the 4x4 auto button.
From where I park the vehicle, I have two turns within 100yds. After the second turn the howling is not present.
Thoughts??

Shack,
Good advice, I took it in the same day I first posted. Got it back two days later with a new 4X4 control module installed. The dealer said that it was electronically the same part as the one that went bad, so it sounds like the problem was a vendor quality problem rather than a Ford engineering problem.

I have the same problem with my 4x4 2002 explorer...I cant get the problem to reproduce for the deal, it is intermittent for some reason - I am 95% sure it is the 4wd control module, but I cant get them to replace it under warranty unless they see all the crazy unexplainable **** its doing (mine also has a mind of its own). It loves to run perfectly whenever its at the dealer. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Ive called ford customer support and everything. Should I find a control module from some other source??
