If this is a clutch then you need to look into the shift actuator is what I believe it is called. It is a located on your clutch pedal. If this is an automatic it still could be something similar to that.

First and foremost it depends on the make and model of the vehicle along with what style of 4 wheel drive. Once I have all that I can properly advise you on what to do

All the relays are under the hood on these rangers, but you problem may be with the control box behind the jump seat on the drivers side. You may have to remove the jump seat to get to it. Once there, the box will have a white,grey or black button on it. Usually on the end where the red light is, Turn the key on and press this button and hold for 5 seconds. This puts the 4 wheel drive shift motor back in sequence. Now without starting the engine and the trans in park if auto and neutral if standard park break set, try the to shift in to 4 high, if you can hear the shift motor run and shift the gears in the transfer case, try 4 low, you should hear the same motion in the transfer case, if so you have solved your problem. If not you may have to move on to the connector on the transfer case, you may have to unplug the connector and look at the pins and socket, if they look corroded, clean and apply some dielectric grease to the pins and the socket and plug back in. Try the 4 High and 4 low again. If it works, great, if not you may have a bad shift motor.
Good luck.

The solenoids are inside the transmission, if you are getting more than one code you may have a problem with the wiring harness going into the trans.

2008 Ford Ranger no heat. I replaced the "Air Door Actuator", located behind the glove box. It is a small unit measuring approximately 4"x4"x1". The heat loss seemed to be sudden, making me think that a fuse may have blown. My research led to the "Air Door Actuator". I was getting full cold for the AC, but could not adjust the temperature. The air remained cold with the temperature control knob turned to full heat. To replace, remove the multi pin connector, remove three screws and the unit will now be free. The two front screws are easy to access, but the one screw behind the unit is not so easy to get to and is tricky to reinstall since space is very tight. A low profile, 1/4" drive, long handle ratchet is best. Also tape a length of string as a tether to your ratchet since you will likely drop the tool behind the unit, like I did. I also used a small, telescoping mirror and LED flash light to see behind the unit.

Check to see if the front diff is being engaged. Ther is a vac switch that come from the transfer case. It sits right on top has 3 lines. One line is vac input the other is vac output the third is a vent. When you push the 4wd button that switch allows the vac to the front diff. The front diff actuator is under the battery. Check to see if the actuator is moving if not check to see if the switch is any good by checking vac on the actutor line. You can doo this with out taking out the battery. You will see a line that goes from the back of the engine up the right side then under the batt. It is covered by wire loom. Cut in to it and see if there is vac. If not check to see the switch works. If there is then check to see if the actuator is torn( actuator looks like a cruse control actuator) or the cable to the front diff is stuck.

When you turn the dial to 4 wheel drive it controls a solonoid unit that then controls the electric motor that shifts the trasfer case to 4X4. The clicking sound that you are hearing is probobly the solonoid unit (4x4 control unit) engaging or trying to engage the trasfer case motor. From what I,ve heard the solonoid unit is located behind the plastic panel that is under the glove box and before the passenger side door. Moisture can build up in that area and ruin the solinoid unit over time. Check any fuses that have any thing to do with the 4x4. If the solonoid unit or fuses is not the problem, I would check the wireing to the electric transfer case motor and the motor itself. Good luck and God bless!

there is a vacuum solonoid on the firewall in the middle with 2 vac lines and a 2 wire plug
thats ur problem
push the button and smack it with the handle of a screwdriver should work
