Hello,
I too have a 1998 Ford Ranger that the 4 wheel drive does not engage. I have been doing some research online and have found one main reason for this. Since our Fords are shift on the fly 4 wheel drive the hubs automatically engage for us when we switch that little nob. Well after 100,000 miles of doing this the automatic hubs wear down and the 4 wheel drive is unable to engage. I have done some research and those automatic hubs are about $200 each. But you can get the manual locking ones for about $75 each. If you get the $75 ones you will have to manually lock your hubs when using 4 wheel drive, but they will not wear out like the automatic ones do and they are cheaper.
What else can I help you with?

On the 1998 Ford Ranger , rear ABS brakes were standard on the XL and XLT 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel ABS was an option on the 2 wheel drive models. The more expensive 4x4 XLT version came with 4 wheel ABS according to my Consumer Guide book - Helpfull My Ranger does have 4 wheel ABS.
Is there a 2 wheel drive indicator light on the instrument panel of a 1998 Ford Ranger 4 X 4 to indicate 2 wheel drive after switching from 4 high?
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! In the 1998 Ford Ranger 4x4, there might not be a specific indicator light for 2-wheel drive after switching from 4 high. But don't you worry, just remember to feel the road and enjoy the journey, whether you're in 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive. Happy driving, my friend!
