Hi all,
I have a 1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4L with the A4WD (which I don't like AT ALL.) Just before Thanksgiving the front end started acting like it was locking up. I pulled the fuse to disable the A4WD and haven't had any issues since. When I've needed 4WD I just pop the fuse back in and no problem. Until yesterday. I popped it in before going home (big time snowstorm hit us yesterday.) The front end started making a grinding sound and feeling like it was locking up again, so pulled over and removed the fuse, but this time it didn't disengage anything. I limped it to a friend's house and parked it. It almost sounds like there was metal rubbing on metal, but not sure what that would be. I'm not a mechanic, but don't want to get screwed around by one without having an understanding of what might be wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jill
