low range
My friend just bought a 94 explorer with the push button transfer case. It goes into four wheel drive just fine but when you try to put it into low range nothing happens. Any ideas on what it could be?

Yup - transfersase electric shift motor - most likely. Could also be a bad switch/button on the dash. There's a relay reset button you can try. Left rear qtr panel, removable cover from inside, a littel black controler with a white button on the bottom. With car running hit the button. An LED will flash and I forget what it means - flash fast and OK or slow and controller issue...But I tried it once and it fixed the same problem but then a few months later, I was rebuilding the shift motor. Look here for that and a ton of other good repair ideas. http://draco.acs.uci.edu/explorer/
Then alos look here for how the EFI/engine controls system works! http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/

Where the vehicle is new to you and your friend, make sure you are using the correct procedure to shift into/out of 4L:
1) Stopped
2) Foot on Brake
3) If automatic, transmission in N (P isn't good enough for my '92). If manual, transmission in N and you may need to have clutch pedal depressed, not sure.
