Went to put my Explorer in 4 low today. Nothing. Tried 4 High. Again,
nothing. The button lights do not come on, and the dash lights do not
come on. I have checked all 4WD fuses, all seem good.

Suggestions?

The motor which operates the transfer lever has frozen. This is a common
problem, especially if you don't use the FWD very often. It's about a $250
part + labor. After you get it fixed shift it into FWD at least once a week
to keep it from freezing up again.

Which FWD? Does it have to be LOW FWD or is High FWD good enough?

Alltel, took the motor apart. It looks like new, turns freely not
frozen.

Neither 4 lo or 4 hi work. No lights on buttons, no relay click, no
noise at all when you press buttons.
