Jim,
I don't know what the "credit card scam" was for your post from back in 2002 - but you indicated that you had a good answer for the problem. I am having the same problem (1995 EB 4X4), with the 4WD lights flashing 6 times, the speedo needle vibrating, and surging in cruise control surging. My dealer (Pacific Ford in Long Beach)pulled the codes and has replaced the speed sensors and the GEM module (not sure if they have replaced the actuator switch yet), with no improvement. They have had my Exploder for a week and seem stumped! Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated (thank you for your enthusiasm and helpfulness for the RAMFE group)
" 2002-11-06 21:56:00 PST was going to answer.... a pretty good answer, too..... but the credit card scam thing kinda sticks, if you know what I mean. I have to wonder how the conversation with the dealer really went....

Date: 2002-11-06 12:24:46 PST I have began to have a couple different problems with my explorer. I took it to the dealer recently to look into the cruise control problem I was having. The vehicle would not stay at a constant speed, it would instead pulse the gas instead of applying it steadily. On the way there, I noticed that the speedometer was also bobbing when not in Cruise. so I figured the instable speedometer was probably the cause of the cruise control pulsing.. only the speedometer wasn't bobbong much at the time...
- (4WD lights)would blink once every second six times, then would turn off for 5 minutes or so, then repeat the same pattern."
