The saga continues. Been with my mechanical man this afternoon and we have almost solved the problem almost.
Took out the diff lock switch next to the locker, connected the wires back to it, pushed in the end and bingo the red light on the dash went from flashing to solid. Conclusion, the switch is A1 ok.
Tried the diff locker, but no sound or movement to be seen. Gave it the old one two with a rubber mallet still no sound or movement. Removed the electrical connection and tested the end for power. No power observed. Conclusion, the actuator will not work without power. Ha ha. Maybe the diff switch on the dash is to blame, maybe a broken wire. The diff fuse was ok by the way.
We are now waiting for the auto electrician to attend before going the whole hog and ordering a new locker. Maybe the old one (if faulty) and when we get power to it will repair, as it looks amazingly clean on the outside.
