Front diff lock flashing light..

The flasher system for the front diff lock doesn't appear to work on my sika...bulb lights when lock engages but doesn't flash when it's "waiting" to clunk home...everything is there I think so anybody know an easy way to pinpoint if its the vac switch or the foamy circuit board?
I'm thinking if the vac switch is bridged it should set the light flashing...?
Anyone got a Current flow diagram for this system?
Thanks!

There is a thread on here somewhere about this very thing, problem is related to the pcb from memory. Mine does the same as yours, it's probably the one thing on my van I'll never fix

Cheers...just to clarify...the rear locker is not supposed to make the light flash is it? Just the front one...

Post up if you fix it, especially if it's something REALLY easy

I think the van cafe sell a fix kit / upgrade for the circuit board

Well...had a good look...found a CFD, all is working as it should, when it should, so guess the foamy circuit board is spanked.
Anyone know if they are available or what component fails and if its repairable?
Just saw your post jes..will take a look.
