    Hey guys a few months back i bought a 2010 Tacoma which had the RR diff lock button but when i pressed that instead of locking the diff it turned off the rsca
    U think there's something wrong with the wiring ?
    And if i go under the truck and inspect the diff is there anything that indicates if I have the diff locks ??

    Look at your rear axle where the drive shaft meets the pumpkin. You will have a small (Coke can sized) electric motor to the right of that.

    Sounds like somebody messed with wiring. When you press the rr diff lock button, a red indicator should flash on the dash.

    I don't think you have a rear e locker (I think), because my rear locker is located in the upper middle blank

    No you dont, looks like he was short a switch so he jerryrigged it with a RR one he had laying around most likely

    Nah man the price was okay
    But I'm disappointed that it's not a Trd offroad though but none the less I'm still driving circles around other 4x4's when we go
