Question about 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I cannot get the 4WD ESOF to engage.

This happened suddenly. Trying to somehow diagnose what the issue(s) could be. Drives perfect in 2WD. No clunking noise when shifting to 4WD - nothing at all (no light comes on either)

SOURCE: where is the resistor in a 2001 ford explorer

You have to remove your glove box and it is behind there. Here is a picture of where it is. This particular picture is from a 4 X 4 so if you don't have that it won't have the 4X4 part. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for using FixYa!

SOURCE: where is the fuel filter location on a 2001 ford

It is inside the left frame rail below the drivers door, you need a special tool to release the filter from the line. filter just snaps into its metal holder. Good luck and you can get the fuel line quick release tool at most Auto Parts store.

I have an 96 grand jeep cherokee and it is currently stuck in 4wd part time. When i shift it to N and put it in 2wd then shift to drive it does nothing but make a humming type noise. same thing happens w/...

first this is a shift on the fly system which means you shift it in and out of 4wd when moving and not stopped . 4 low yes stopped. second the diameter of your tires must be all the same plus or minus 1/8 inch. third if you drive in part time you will be causing binding when turning at all on dry pavement. this can break things like cv shafts and or the transfer case chain.

What's your problem?noise when in 4wd

if its the noise that happens when you shift it from 2wd to 4wd that is most likely normal, unless it is continuing on after the shift to 4wd,The other that it could be is a universal joint that is sloppy/loose on the front slip yolk or the front wheels.to check it you nee to jack up the front end just till the front wheels are off the ground,and support with jack stands and chalk the back wheels,then try to move the front wheels from side to side to check if its a tie rod making the noise,then move the wheels up and down to see if the wheel bearings are bad or going bad.then spin the wheels seperatly 1 at a time and look and see if the u-joint is loose.you can also check the front drive shaft/slip yolk by doing this.

It is somewhat Normal Depending on how Loud the Clunking is. This is a Common Complaint on the Chevy 4x4's. I have verified this through the Dealerships here in Oklahoma and they all say the Same thing But, I am with you, They should go into 4x4 without that Clunk for as much as we pay for them.

Clunking from front end in 2WD

ASE mechanic here:
check the king pins in the front end and the u joints for any kind of play. sounds like front end play while four wheel drive is engaged and stills is affected for a while when two wheel drive is activated. this year truck most definitely has a manual four wheel linkage that could be the problem too. try lubing up any moving linkage and i would shift it in neutral. keep me posted

98 Jimmy 4WD clunk

It seems like no one else hear at FixYa is responding yet to both your requests about clunking in 4wd.
I see two requests....in the first a 2000 blazer from Gloeckz
there is a rapid clunking in 4wd!
In the second it clunks hard going in then won't drive!
This is rayenc11s' 98 Jimmy 4WD clunk I'm no trans specialist and not familiar with repairing or troubleshooting serious 4wd problems but it sounds like this may be a problem in the transfer case.

Since no one seems to be helping you but me I'd suggest you go to a transmission shop and ask them if this is a common problem that may lead to a bad transfer case if not corrected!

Make sure you have the proper fluid in your transmission case, transfer case and differential case first or have a quick oil change place check it for you!

Hope this is helpful.

Good Luck!
