What is this going into the rear differential?

dude...pretty sure?
its certainty haha. With your build dealer won't even know what they are looking at haha.

Best of luck though brother.
Perhaps when it was leaking it was damaged, like something hit it.
Or when replacing the o ring you over torqued it and damaged something?

 

Yes with the switch out it is disengaged

 

Checked it all I did was pull it out to swap the oring out because the other one was damaged

 

Probably I should have just let it leaked and took it to the 4x4 shop on the 28th to fix the leaking. Now I have a whole new set of problems like getting it there.

 

Have you tried:
-Pulling it out
-Pressing the locker button
-Re-install

 

Yes, I tried that and lifting the wheels and rotating the wheels manually while pushing it in

 

Damn. That's weird for sure.

 

Yes for the life of me I can't figure out what it is or how it goes in. It doesn't retract and only extends

 

If I could at least figure out what part it is maybe I could find how it goes in the differential

 

Definitely one of the downsides of having a new truck :/

 

This sounds stupid, but have you tied to drive the truck turning slightly side to side? Sometimes the locker wil get stuck and the truck needs to be rolling to disengage.

Happens to me every once in a while.

 

if you have it taken out it disengages right?
any way to put the plug in so it doesn't leak but keep the connector for the solenoid disconnected maybe? That way you can at least drive?


I can't find anything on it in the manual so not sure, but could it be the solenoid is damaged? Or is it retracted already and it just seems like it should retract more?
I think someone mentioned earlier it works on a switched ground? Try following the cable, maybe it got damaged somewhere and is grounding out on the frame or something so completing the circuit.

 

He's correct. I'm not sure if the 3rd gens have the same disengagement process, but my prerunner is the same way. The locker will stay engaged until I turn side to side while rolling for a minute or two.

 

this is why I hate E lockers lol.

 

Yes I sir tried that too. I a stumped

 

lol

 

Damn turd gens always acting up

 

did you try the jeremy clarkson tool?

 

did you try disconnecting the battery?

 

It looks just like the same set up as in the jeep rubicon lockers. (But better being a Toyota) and electric and not vacume. There is a plate inside that pulles the switch out and the switch has to get behind the plate. Which you must disassemble the 3rd member to reinstall the switch correctly. learned the hard way on that one. Never have had the one on my 4runner apart being a Toyota but I'm guessing the same set up. If it is like that don't drive it.
