4WD Flashing on a 97 Explorer XL 4.0 SOHC

I have a 97 Explorer that the 4WD hi/lo is flashing 6 times waits about 2 minutes and flashes again 6 time. I've noticed in tight turn there is shutter in the front wheels as though the 4wd is kicked in but it isn't in the selector. As a matter of fact, the selector now doesn't work.



I've heard of a speed sensor that might cause this. Is this the spedo sensor on the transmission or is there another?



If so, is there anywhere on the web showing how to change this?



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks,



Jeff

OK....I'm assuming that one is the spedo connector that drive the speedometer...is that correct. Held on by one bolt?

Where is the other?

Thanks for the reply by the way!

My '99 did the same thing. I pecked on the transfer case motor with a hammer and fixed it. The motor was stuck. It wouldn't hurt to try this on yours.

Thanks Jason
