Consumer Description

1998 FORD EXPLORER 4WD MILEAGE: 82000. THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED YESTERDAY. I NOTICED NO PROBLEMS WITH THE WAY THE VEHICLE DRIVES OR HANDLES...BUT THE 4WD HI AND 4WD LO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD PERIODICALLY (EVERY 5 - 10 MINUTES) BLINK 5 TIMES SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE DASH IS NORMAL FOR 5 MINUTES, AND THEN THE LIGHTS BLINK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS REPETITIVELY WHETHER DRIVING IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY, ETC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 4WD AUTO THE WHOLE TIME. I HAVE NOT USED THE 4WD VERY MUCH AT ALL!*AK
