Where is the 4x4 shift control module? As I understand it, it's in a
wheel well somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look or how to identify
it, when I do find it.

Reason I ask is I was all but given a 1993 Explorer w/ non-functional
4WD. The dealer tested it and says the shift control module is the
problem. I'd like to try to find a used one, rather than pay through
the nose for a new part.

Look in the back end cargo area, you will find a panel. If you open it
you will find it there.

I had a similar issue, but it took myself in the cab and a buddy
underneath with a gentle tap on the shift motor to bump it back into action.
I think moisture must have gotten to it or something.

I've tried that, to no avail. I'm considering borrowing the electronics
module from a friend's Explorer (1994, mine is a 1993) to see if that
does the trick.
