4x4lo light
i have a 1997 expedition 5.4 and when i try to put it in 4lo the light never comes on. i can hear it switch and everything but i really cant tell a difference between 4hi and 4lo when driving. is the 4lo light a completely different light?

I guess I was under the impression he knew that. Could very well be his problem. This is from your owners manual.
Shifting from4Hto 4L(and 4L
to 4H)
1. Bring the vehicle to a stop.
2. Depress the brake.
3. Place the gearshift in N
(Neutral).
4. Move the 4WD control to the 4H
(or 4L) position.
Here's your owners manual if you don't have one. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pub.../97exdog1e.pdf

Maybe he does know it, or forgot about it. Either way I just figured I'd make sure the obvious was covered.

Nope, not yet, I haven't had time to fab it up, and now it's snowing here. It's on my project list, one of many. It's kind of low priority at the moment, because the wife's been bugging me to get back to work finishing off the basement. Gotta keep them happy you know.

She doesn't drive mine, she has her own, and I checked hers out also, and hers looked fine. I still did the wire loom fix like I did on mine, but she drives much slower than me so I find it unlikely she'll have the same problem.
