4WD Power??

I have a 91 Explorer 4wd. I have been trying to sort out the 4wd mechanism..it used to work, but now, when I push any of the on-dash buttons, no lights illuminate and nothing happens. I can't locate the fuse for it (if there is one, and don't want yet to remove the panel to check the power to the switches...would like few options to check first...any suggestions?

It seems to most commonly be a dirty shift motor mechanism. There are sites out there (search here for "singleton") that describe how to clean the shift motor.

The Singleton site eventually died, but the information was replaced here: http://draco.acs.uci.edu/explorer/tcase.html. Also, there was a recent post about rebuilt shift motors It's here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=353661 .
