On a 1995 Ford Explorer :
In the center stack of the dash , just to the left of the radio , is a rotary dial
that selects the positions of the Control Trac 4x4 system
( 2 WD , 4 WD AUTO , 4 WD LOW )
With the engine running ( as long as the back wheels are not slipping ) turn the
selector from 2 WD to 4 WD AUTO , then if the back wheels start to slip , some
of the power is transferred to the front wheels ( it's the " set and forget "
position that can be used on dry surfaces , and in the rain and snow )
If you want to select 4 WD LOW ( for off road use because of the limited
speed ) With the engine running , your foot on the brake pedal , shift to
NEUTRAL , select 4 WD LOW and then after the " 4 WD LOW " light comes on
in your dash , shift into gear
with a Large HAMMERRRthanks for the sugested solution but I TRY THAT ALREADY AND IS NOT WORKING
A malfunction has been detected , could be a sensor
The transmission has set a code and you need to get it checked.

Owner's manual.
well,, you can start by turning the switch on your dash that says '4wd'
There wasnt a 5.0L explorer in 1992
It could be due to a blown fuse which can be found under the dashboard under the hood. If the fuse is fine, check the motor connection of the transfer case, and be sure it has not come loose.

It is for the 4WD control knob. In models without 4WD it is just an extra place to put something.
Have the torque convertor clutch in the trans checked out for slippiing.
