98 transfer case
any ideas, I keep getting 4x4 high and 4x4 low lights flash 6 times every 2 minutes. upon starting up explorer and making a turn you feel 4x4 is engaged have the three way selector on dash auto, 4 high, and 4 low. pulled off shift motor moves when you select 4 low and goes back when you turn ****. changed transfer case fluid, cleaned both HALE sensors, and changed computer behind radio. the only that works is pulling #10 fuse, but then I lose lights and 4x4 but it's not locked in 4x4. I keep reading similar threads on here what am I missing? thanks in advance.

Your symptoms indicate that the clutch pack in the T/C case is dragging, only 2 conditions will manifest like this,
Either there is power on the brown wire going into the T/C, or the fluid is sticking the clutch plates together. The T/C shoud be filled with A/T fluid, (no gear oils)
If the symptoms go away when the fuse is pulled I would be looking at the electromagnetic clutch (brown wire)...for stray voltage, check with VOM meter.
The 4Hi-4Lo switch activates the shift motor to change the range and lock the clutch, has no connection with this problem.
