I have a 97 ford ranger xlt 4x4. I once pulled the fuse out for My dome light and it made the 4 hi and 4 low lights flash on every few minutes and would not engage when I turned switch. So I put the fuse back in. Then it stopped flashing and 4 wheel would engage. The same fuse for dome light operates something with 4 x4. So I would check fuse on drivers side dash.

There are four fuses that run the 4wd system we should check (8 and 4 in the under-hood fuse panel and 27 and 13 in the interior fuse panel. here is a guide to help run the test with the key on engine off, I have also included the 4WD wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.
