diff lock light

Post by **Hacksawbob** » 15 Dec 2006, 01:46

I renistalled the diff lock actuator, when I went to turn the key in the ignition (first position without engine running) I notice the diff lock light is on, does the plug on the diff lock have a polarity? it seemed to go on either way, or is it stwitched earth/positive. ie if the light is on it means the pin is engaged regardless of which way round the plug is. I'm a bit confused as I had the van out of gear to rotate the rear hub to tighten the CV bolts and the rear hub wouldn't of turned if the diff was actually engaged. I am fairly certain that i got the vacuum on the right way. however the roll pin would not seat in the groove, semms to have trapped the head of the actuator pin.

chech that the ally collar that the circlip attaches to wich the switch goes through is still lined up properly,if this has moved then the light will show on,cj.
