As far as your heater goes,I would check the box that holds your core to make sure the air can flow through.also check for kinks in your heater hoses and check that the warm and cool air selector is operating correctly.Some are vacuum and some are manual,yours should be a vacuum.For your 4x4 button,ive never been a big fan of these and as far as I know,would just search for shorts as any other elect. problem.Maybe the selector is faulty or has a loose connection....good luck!

I bought the linkages off of a wrecked '89 manual shift,and converted my 4x4......never been happier.

You have an 89 BII so swapping in a manual is pretty easy to do and the parts are easy to find.

You can rebuild your shift motor and it will work just fine. It's an easy process just tedious and time consuming. You can got to www.explorer4x4.com and read up on there tech pages how to rebuild it.
