Took my 22 Badlands Sasquatch for its 7th trail ride this weekend. it has been flawless to this point, BUT a few hundred yards into the trail it went bad fast. The start if the trail I was on is steep rocky and narrow. Made it up the first part and there was a loud warning, kinda like the proximity sensor warning, but longer... then I got about 6 error warnings with the big one being "4x4 Temporarily Disabled". I lost front wheel power, and just had rear with locker. It was still steep and precarious so I had to keep going to find a spot to get off trail and access. Went a few hundred yards like this and got on a levelish spot. Turned off the rig and restarted, same warnings came on. Unhooked the battery for a bit and tried it again but still same warnings. Decided to turn around.
I waited about 20 minutes for the 16 rigs I was leading on the trail to get through and pass me. restarted the rig and turned around and headed back down and was able to get 4x4 working again. I didn't want to chance it happening again on the trail so I headed home. I'll be making an appt to have Ford service it ASAP and I'll update this thread. Anyone else experience this? My net searches say this happens when the Transfer case is overheated, but I JUST started the trail and was only in 4x4 for a couple minutes.
