91 Explorer 4x4 Problems

Due to money problems I had to get rid of my 96 Mustang and picked up a 91 Explore 4x4 in the deal. I noticed when I got it that the 4wd wouldnt engage but I figured I could fix it....WRONG! When the light on the switch didnt light up I assumed it was the switch itself but its not. I got it to engage one time. I checked the continuity on the switch and the voltage in the harrness and it checked out. I realized that I could hear a "clicking" noise whenever I pressed the switch so I think it is a solenoid or something to that effect. I checked to see if I could find it, but had no luck. Could someone please shed a little light on this. I have no experience with the Explorers and hate to mess something up worse than it is. Thnx

Probably a dirty shift motor. Check the links and information on this thread; https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=354787

Hope you find it useful.
