Diff lock light no worky

[VladTepes]

Took the truck on some light off roading today and when i slipped her across into diff lock the light didnt come on. tried several times, while still and moving.

So how do I tell whether the diff lock is actually engaging?

Could it be as simple as a fuse? Which one, if so.

ill have a go untill someone that actually knows comes along....find a drainage ditch, cross axle through it so you loose traction, engage difflock and see if that makes a difference.....if your still stuck...not engaged id say. :confused:

Jack all 4 wheels off the ground or at least one wheel on each diff.

With cdl on spin the front wheel and one of the rear wheels should turn too.

There is also a sensor on the tc have a look at that and make sure it is plugged in and not full of mud and dust.

It is so simple to check, jack one front wheel up or rear for that matter, lock the cdl, if the car tries to drive off the jack, then the cdl is working, we do this all the time when someone asks us to check a landrover for them. And it is probably a fuse anyway, unless the linkage is bent.

FWIW it's pretty common for the switch on the t/case to go out of adjustment.
The light in my Deefer didn't work when I bought it all those years ago, it was just the switch adjustment.

The procedure to set up the switch properly is outlined in the manual.

BTW, if you listen closely you can hear the 'ting' of the engagement dogs when engaging/disengaging.
I go off that more than the light.

Drive in circles on a dirt surface turning hard right with lock engaged have a look at your rear right wheel if surface has a bit of traction you should see it/feel it grabbing and scrubbing as the diff winds up/releases. If it doesn't it's not engaged. If it does get the light fixed!

I have the opposite problem the dif light is almost permanatly on even when the cdl is set to off.

what the is procedure to adjust the switch (that is all I hope it is)

[crump]

it is a PITA as you have to remove the trans tunnel and all those horrible little screws that hold it in.Once you get that off you will be able to see the switch and all will be revealed!
