I suppose I shouldn't post a thread before I've at least climbed under the truck to have a look.... but....
.....the red rear locker dash warning light has decided to stay illuminated.
With all the snow here of late, the rear and front diff-locks have had a bit of a busy time, coupled with me nosing into, or on to, piles of snow up to a meter high.
Yep, I'm the idiot that parks on the top of the piles of snow:
(i) because there's no alternative parking place;
(ii) because it's fun; and
(iii) because I can!
This means the diffs have also been dragged through a fair bit of compacted snow, as well.
My truck has always suffered the usual "red light but no yellow" syndrome which has never bothered me because I know when they're locked in and I know when they're locked out.
Anyway, I know the rear is locked out now, but the solid red light is on all the time, whether locked or not and irrespective of whether the CDL is locked or not.
This suggests electrickery, which is not my strongest discipline
If I get no responses, you're all forgiven. But whatever, I'll slide under this weekend to have a nose at the connector block.
If a bit of pinching the females and cleaning up the males doesn't work, I'll be at a bit of a loss.

I did replace my front locker actuator when Karl kindly sourced one for me, but I've never even looked at the rear locker. Will this detent switch be obvious? And no, I'm not asking you to crawl under the car in torrential rain to take photos, just a bit of guidance.... Just to the left of, or just above or below..... whatever, will probably do. 27mm is fairly big, so I'm sure it pretty easy to find...
