[QUOTE="Dennis Shelley, post: 1024832, member: 58803"] All the electronics could be fine. Some times the servo (electric motor) that actually moves the selector on the transfer case gets "gummed up" due to lack of use. I live in Iowa (my ST is a 2001) due to minimal use of 4 X 4, every 90 days I put the ST on grass or sand and go to high 4X4 then back to 2 high and repeat to 4 high. I suggest you go under the ST, locate the transfer case, spray the shift lever where it exits the case with penetrating oil or silicone spray. then try operating the 4X4 knob. Also tapping on the servo unit (on transfer case) while moving the knob from 2X to 4X might free up the unit. Unless you use this function, so it goes "use it or lose it". My 2001 ST has 210,000 and this "routine" every 3 months has kept the Electric servo and related mechanics loose. How many miles on the ST ??? How long have you had it ?? What color and options??
