Dorman - OE Solutions 4WD Hub Locking Solenoid P/N:600-400
Replace a failed four-wheel-drive engagement solenoid with the Dorman 4WD hub locking solenoid, part number 600-403, a direct replacement for the unit in the 1997-2001 Ford Explorer and 1997-2001 Ford Ranger. Dorman also calls it a 4 Wheel Drive Engage and Emissions Purge Solenoid, so you may see it listed under that name. It is designed to take the place of the original equipment solenoid on these trucks and SUVs.
Signs this part may need replacing include four-wheel drive that won't engage or disengage when selected, or hubs that don't lock as expected. Other parts of the 4WD system can cause the same symptoms, so find the cause before replacing the solenoid. Engine and trim details for each vehicle are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
