This problem occurs when turning from a stop, sometimes it occurs when you go forward from a stop or low speeds, auto 4 wheel drive kicks in when coming up our drive and turn left slightly. .steep incline little gravel. does same thin in 4hi and 4 lo
The problem you describe seems to be a symptom of dirt or dammage in the autolocking hub system , you will need to dissasemble to see what the cause is any further , this might be a good place to say what i allways tell my fellow 4x4 folks if your gonna drive thru Mud/sand/dirty water then make it a point to carry a jug or two of fresh water with you and after reaching clean road again use this water to flush out seals in front and behind your front tires you'll save your self a bunch of worries down the road
where is the autolocking hub system located?
the hub is the center of the front wheels

put it back into 2 wheel drive, then reverse 10 or 15 feet, this should unlock the hubs.

I agree w/ Dave, if u have a part time system, u should not use 4wd on dry pavement, if it's full time 4wd, there are 3 couplings that shift torque to different axles to to allow wheels to spin at different revolutions, and u should not experience the 'driveline wind-up' ,or torque bind. If u do, the system needs to be inspected for problems.

I had the same problem w/ my 99. If you have auto hubs, they work off a vacuum pump which is located under your air filter box..check to make sure it is working..is that is working it's on to the hubs..the locking hubs are the black caps in the center of each from wheel..they snap on and off..hard to take off without breaking a few tabs..the seal one or both may not be holding the vacuum created by the motor under the airfilter box. if one of the hubs has a vacuum leak neither side will work, it's all or nothing..aside from the electric parts on the dash and side of transmition that's about everything there is to know about 1999 ranger four wheel system.

I had same problem on my 2002 explorer. Its either the computer module, or the electric solenoid on the transfer case. In my case it was both. The computer module I had done twice in 14 months.

Hello
This can be caused by a problem with the connector under the truck to the transfer case electric shift actuator. Get under the truck and remove the connector to the transfer case actuator motor, check it for water intrusion or corroded pins (greenish color), if this found clean up the contacts with contact cleaner and reconnect. If this still doesn't cure the flashing light and 4 wheel low issue you may have a problem with the transfer electric actuator assembly that engages the 4 wheel low. The dealer can also hook up a scanner and read more diagnostic data through the communication link under the dash in front of the driver.
