Diff lock question

I have been using my locking diff in the snow a bit and the light is flashing I’m not sure if it supposed to flash or be solid. You think it would be solid but maybe not. Anyone got an answer?

 

Solid when it is engaged. If it is blinking it has not engaged yet

 

Ok anyone know what the problem might be?

 

I'd seem both. Had an 04 trd that will flash but is locked. The old setup on my 02 is solid when locked.

 

Why not engage the elock and jack up the rear end and check?

 

Will do maybe do a few outside tests as well

 

No, because there really isn't a problem.

Do you know how to get it to engage?

 

Click the button?

 

4wd? Must be in 4lo to function unless you did the "grey wire mod"

Prerunner, yes. Just click the button

 

The gears need to line up, which will require turning one way or another and driving forward slowly until it engaged

Perfectly normal

But yes as mentioned above, also in Lo

 

I didn’t know it had to be 4l

 

If everything is factory, elock will not function in 4hi

 

Got it

 

Someone removed the card from your visor?

 

If you want elock to lock in 2wd or 4hi, search grey wire mod.

 

Will do thanks everyone
