Ranger 4X4 lights flash/MAF Sensor
I have a '98 Ranger w/4L and the other day, when I tried shifting into 4X4, BOTH 4x4 Hi and Lo lights flashed, but nothing happened. They kept flashing 6 times every 2 minutes. Then later everything was back to normal. It still won't go into 4x4Lo. What are those flashing lights suppose to indicate?
Also I was trying to remove the MAF sensor, but one of the screws has some black coating on it, like a epoxy or something. It's hard and I finally got the top chipped off, but now can't get the torx driver in to remove it. Any suggestions short of driling the head, or using vice-grips?

My wife has a 98 Explorer doing the same thing. From what little research I have done so far, it sounds like the actuator motor is bad. I am assuming that this is locted on the transer case, but this isn't a NP205 like I am used to working on! If I come up with anymore info, I'll post it.
