The Ranger has remote free-wheeling hubs to disconnect the front wheels from the front axle when 4wd is disengaged, reducing rolling resistance and hence tyre wear and fuel consumption.
When you engage 4wd initially (when stationary) the free wheeling hubs engage automatically. Once these are engaged it is possible to shift between 2H and 4H and back when moving (e.g. when going between solid road and snow, since without a centre differential you can't safely drive the Ranger on-road in 4x4).
This is why the free-wheeling hubs do not disengage automatically. To disengage them you press the RFW switch. This is the only time this switch does anything. If you drive > 60mph the RFW light will flash to remind you to press the button to disengage the free wheeling hubs.

Replaced fans radiator sensor rfw engine light still on?
If an engine light is still on after replacing a fan's radiator sensor in a RFW engine the coolant sensor should also be checked. If the coolant sensor is bad it will send an error code to the car's computer.
Is the rfw lock in when the light is on?
Yes, when the RFW (Rear Fog Warning) light is on, it indicates that the rear fog lights are activated. This means that the lights are locked in the "on" position until they are manually turned off, usually by the driver. The indicator serves as a reminder to ensure that the rear fog lights are used appropriately, especially in low visibility conditions.

It will all depend on what is available. We hope to use 4,5,6 and the Heisler. It is shaping up to be a great event. http://msrlha.org/rfw/index.html
What does rfw lock mean?
Remote Free Wheel lock. It idicate whether vehicle front wheels are locked to the drive system (front diff) or not. When the lock is released, front wheels are not powered and they can rotate freely. Keep it unlocked while in 2wd mode and lock in 4wd mode. Harshana
How do you upgrade the firmware on your sylvania smpk8858 mp3 player?
The solution is in the installation disc, the file .rfw is the upgrade tool; insert disc then open this file, and the up grader should start. How ever the sole use of the re installation disc cures most problems, and the included video converter translates most video files to AVI . Re installing the software is the Key.
