front shaft bearing could be front shaft "U" joints or bad sliding spline problem

possible master switch

Yeah, that's the sign of a serious malfunction. So your first step would be to get the trouble codes read. Most likely you'll wind up at a transmission shop

What makes you think the problem is in the fuse box?

For the whirling sound I would suspect the belt tensioner. seek the exact location of the noise. As for the 'Hot" reading us suspect a sensor is bad or the thermostat is faulty.

Sounds like a relay issue possibly. The interaction between the door lock and wipers may be the key. Check a wiring diagram to see if there is any common fuse or relay. The speedo may be a separate issue.

Below is a link to the owners manual. The fuse info begins on page 306. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/10f23og2e.pdf

Have you ever had the 4X4 transfer case serviced with new fluid? If not try that first.

hi yes seems like you switch is faulty.] replace the switch Thanks

Hope you can read that? Check the fuses for those relays, the two on the right. Not only check the fuses, use a test lite to check for voltage on the fuse circuit. Check the four fuses on the left, also, some are hot all the time, some go hot with the key on. The top two wires at relay is the load side. The bottom two wires are on the control side of relay. The control side needs voltage and ground. Your gem module controls ground. Sometimes when battery voltage is lost, some modules may need to be reprogrammed? I don't have that info. In my opinion, clicking is either intermittent voltage or ground. Right now I'm thinking ground, controlled by the gem model. I could be wrong?
