it is a vacuum line system. the most common problem is that one of the lines is leaking or broken loose. you need a hoist to get under there and find the sending unit located usually on the upper side of the transfer case. replacing the lines themselves usually requires some dexterity. i take mine to an "old timer" mechanic --- he is in his 80's and really knows vacuum drive systems. try Etter's Garage in Bracewell, Colorado (Between the cities of Greeley and Windsor).
If the automatic 4x4 works but the front hubs do not engage in a 1994 Ranger, there is no 4 wheel drive. The transaxle for the 4 wheel drive has to be repaired.

That would depend on your engine size ( 2.3 liter 4 cylinder , 3.0 or 4.0 liter V6 ) automatic or manual transmission , 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive etc.
Try contacting The Ranger Station people they should be able to help. Hope This Helps.
A 1998 Ford Ranger is rear wheel drive ( or 4X4 capable )
How do you engage four wheel drive on 1995 Chevy S-10?How do you engage four wheel drive on 1995 Chevy S-10?
It depends. Llook at the hubs on your front wheels. Is there a knob in the center of the wheels? If so, then turn this knob to the right and you will have engaged the 4 wheel drive. If you do this; however, make sure you engage the 4 wheel drive inside the truck (if your truck has a 4 wheel drive gear shifter). On other Rangers, you have a knob on the inside of the cab. It should be somewhere on the dash. You can turn it to the right and this will engage the 4 wheel drive. Finally, when you engage the 4WD make sure the engine is cut off, so it doesn't mess up your transfer case.
when i try to engage the wheel wheel drive it grinds i have my truck in neutral what could be the problem what am i doing wrong
it is in the side of the oil pan
Hello, I too have a 1998 Ford Ranger that the 4 wheel drive does not engage. I have been doing some research online and have found one main reason for this. Since our Fords are shift on the fly 4 wheel drive the hubs automatically engage for us when we switch that little nob. Well after 100,000 miles of doing this the automatic hubs wear down and the 4 wheel drive is unable to engage. I have done some research and those automatic hubs are about $200 each. But you can get the manual locking ones for about $75 each. If you get the $75 ones you will have to manually lock your hubs when using 4 wheel drive, but they will not wear out like the automatic ones do and they are cheaper.
