The abs and the 4x4 should not be related. The grinding rubbing noise that you describe when you turn is consistant with the way your car would behave turning on dry pavement when the 4x4 is engaged. You very well could have a sensor problem, but it sounds like (from your description of the problem), that there is more than 1 issue. And yes, often a sensor replacement simply requires unplugging and unmounting then reversing the process. Auto Zone or Advance can sell you the part, but have them check the codes to confirm that diagnosis...(They will do that for free), they can show you how the sensor attaches and the location of the part. The 4x4 could be a selenoid or sensor related issue as well. When you go in, tell them about the 4x4 and be on the lookout for related code faults for that problem. Explorers and Sport Trac models with the push button 4x4 have a history of issues with the unit that mounts on the transfer case. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

If all of the windows do not work and the fuse is fine, the problem is either the window switch on the drivers door or the wire is bad that provides power. Remove the door panel and meter the switch, if you get power to the switch but not through the switch the problem is the switch. If you are not getting power to the switch you know you have a wiring problem.
