02 Explorer 4WD
Ok i was wondering how to tell if my truck is in 4wd. The owners manual tells me that there is no indicator to tell me if it is in 4wd auto but there are ones to tell me if it is in 4wd high and low.
This may be a dumb question but i am new to the whole 4x4 thing.
edit: I just realized that this probobly should be in the offroad section. Im just used to posting in here.

Re: 02 Explorer 4WD
put it in 4-wheel mode and turn the wheel all the way to one side and give it a little gas, you should feel the front wheels gripping if you are on pavement.

Re: 02 Explorer 4WD
You have to have the truck in Neutral to put it in four wheel drive obviously, and as long as "4WD LOW" or "4WD" is lit up, you're in four wheel drive...
I don't know much about the third gens but that's how my second gen is and I'm sure it's the same.
EDIT:
I just re-read that. Four wheel drive high is the same as "auto." It shouldn't engage the front tires until the back ones slip. Four low always uses front and rear and a lower gear range from the transfer case.
