    Hey guys so just as the title states, my e-locker on my 18 trd off-road is engaged and I can’t for the life of me figure out a way to manually or electronically disengage it. Unlike the previous generations the motor is not mounted on the outside of the housing.

    BACKGROUND INFO:
    I pulled myself clamshell and third to have a shop swap my gears to 4.88s. I picked up the gears yesterday and installed everything last night. I made sure everything was clean before installing anything and torqued all of the bolts to spec. Everything went in without issue. After double and triple checking everything I backed out of the drive way and turned the wheel and heard the tires chirp.

    WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
    I gave the shop a call and they will be looking at it tomorrow if I can’t figure it out before then.

    I attempted to disengage it by going through all the steps of engaging 4LO the diff lock but I couldn’t get the light to stop flashing. I went through the process a few times no luck.

    I tried to go direct on with a 12v source to see if I could get movement but no luck their.


    Any ideas? Folks who did the install themselves was there a clocking process?
