does manual first gear work?

Matt

 

what im hearing is that there might be some dirt or trash in the valve body. this might be causing a valve to stick. let me look into it a little further

Manual 1st and 2nd gear work...When it goes into O/D Off, if I don't restart, I just manually shift through the gears.

Hello Guys
I have a Ford Explorer XLT 1999 with 54K miles on it. I bought it five years ago wit less than 14k miles. Problem that I have with my O/D is when I try to activate it on the shift gear it dose not respond. Light indicator is not showing that O/D is on or off. When I drive the car I do not see the difference from the time when O/D was functioning properly. I have noticed this problem today and it bothers me. Also I have noticed when I change my 4WD to the Low the light indicator wont turn on. It works for $WD high but not for low. Can this be a blown fuse or problem with the control panel display?
<OPlease help me.
Thank you.<O

 

I wuld really appriciate if sombady can give me som suggestion on my problem above.

Thank you,

 

man im not sure. could be a selenoid or something. im completly lost

Matt

 

whoops, double post.... sorry cobra

 

Thanks Matt,

Do you know how much will cost me to replace selenoids if that is the problem.
I went to AutoZone and they did code error scan and it turned to be just fine. The employee there suggested to check fuses and relays which i belive has nothing to do with this problem. I also checked for schematics on this car and it has no fuses for O/D and 4WD.

 

well the selenoids can be tested. we discussed this in the ranger forum. go look there

Matt

It was a stupid fix. I replaced a fuse and O/D started working. Stupid but inexpensive. Thanks all of you that tryed to help.
