4x4 flashing lights

hello,

I am having a problem with my 99 explorer, the 4 wheel indicator lights come on and flash 6 times then go off, no particular time frame, sometimes once a day sometimes a couple of days appart. It is not in 4wd when this happens. both 4 high and 4 low lights flashhttps://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=32#

Disconnect and check the harness connector at the transfer case clean dirty contacts and push firmly back together. When the light flashes is it 6 times in a row?

fashing 4wheel indicater lights

yes the flashing lights work at same time and in unison. flashing sequence is over within 4-7 seconds. Repeats sequence after driving a mile or two. It would appear that ford is attempting to tell me something with this silly-ness but ?????? Anyway thanks, I'll try the suggestion.
