    I have a 2005 Tacoma V6 TRD Off-road 4X4, I noticed my steering wheel was stiff & it took corners a lil weird, then I noticed both rear tires are engaged! No lights are on! I put it in 4H that works plus the diff is still stuck (yellow 4X4 comes on as it should) Then I engage 4Lo that works that w/ diff still stuck plus 4Lo light comes as should. Then I pushed the rear diff button on, red diff light flashes and beeps and ABS light comes on, tried rolling it front and reverse a lil nothing just beeps & flashes!

    This is my primary vehicle so I need it back in order fast!

    Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!!

    If your locker is stuck on, and I see your from NY (the locker hates the cold) take the E-locker off the truck and you'll see some gear teeth inside the 3rd member. The locker moves these teeth left and right to activate and deactiavte the locker. Take a flat head screw driver and slide it to the oposite side (I cant remember what way to move it right now but there are only two options) Its usually recommended to jack up the driver rear tire while doing this spin the tire a bit while playing this game. Hope this helps

    pop her in 4LO and have the locker button off (so the locker is trying to disengage), Truck off front wheels chocked, jack the back driver tire up and tap on the actuator housing while you try and move that wheel back n forth a bit.
