No 4 wheel drive........
Went to put my 2001 ranger in 4wd last night & nothing happened, not
even the dash light. I checked the fuse in the dash but that's not the problem. any ideas? thanks......

Tap on it gently with a small hammer while someone is pushing the button and it might recover.

I have to give the shift motor on the transfer case a tap or two on my '91 EB when it's cold. I took the motor apart and cleand and lubricated it but it didn't seem to help for long. If I leave in in 4WD when it's parked it never freezes up. JG

I keep a small hammer in the truck now ;-)
