I have a 2010 Ford F-150 Tuscany 4X4. When I shift into 4X4 a wrench pops up?
Mechanic's Assistant: How old is the [transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/)? Have you noticed any leaking?
2010 no leaking. The oil pan gasket was changed two years ago.
Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your F-150 yourself? What have you tried so far?
I had the dealer change the fluid and gasket. I was planning to bring it to a shop Monday. Someone told me it may be a fuse. The fuse would be under the hood. Any suggestions?
Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
Thats all I know.

Hello, Sorry to hear about your issue.
When you switch back to 2wd does the wrench disappear?
Would it be possible to stop by a parts store to check for codes if you do not have a scan tool?

Hi this is Jimmy. Yes the wrench disappears. I do not know about the parts store option?

Yea, if the wrench light comes on or even if it doesn't they can check for codes for you. This is normally a free service.

Ok I will check that out. Autozone or O'Reilly’s, which do you suggest?

Both would be the same. AutoZone maybe quicker.
Please follow up with the codes you have.
I would call in advance to make sure there are no changes due to Covid-19.

Hi Keith I went to O’Reilly’s and Autozone. Used their scan tool and no codes came up. They both suggested to bring it to a shop?

Hello, Thanks for following up.
I was thinking you had a possible input or output speed sensor issue.
But being you do not have any fault codes pending it is not likely.
If you don't work on cars some your self I would recommend going to the shop.
Reasoning is, with no codes we have to troubleshoot the entire system.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
