Join the flashing A4WD light club!!!!!! Mine does the same exact thing. I have heard everything from a bad hall effect sensor to a reflash on the 4x4 system. Either way, the only to get it fixed is to bring it to a dealer and have them put it on thier computer and tell you whats wrong with it. This system cannot be accessed through the OBDII port and it can only be accessed by a ford dealer. It will cost you about $75 just to put it on the computer then parts and labor to repair the problem. Mine has done this for 3 yrs now and I really don't see the need for A4WD. If I need 4WD I just put it in 4HI. I looked around for a fix for over 6 months and came up short. Good luck.... if you do go to the dealer let me know how you make out!
