mwoodpower Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 got a td5 defender, used diff lock the other day, light came on, disengaged lock and now the light keeps fading in and out, have tried reversing and moving up and down the box, it seems that the lock is disengaged but the light stays on. any thoughts? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirstybeast Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I had this problem a while ago, its was corosion on the diff lock switch terminals, a quick clean up sorted it for about 6 months. The problem re appeared on the weekend so I guess another go with the emery cloth is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyzeus Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 my 300tdi does exactly the same........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 my 99 td5 has a light that comes on, eventually with the diff lock, then flashes intermittently, or sometimes stays on depending how it feels with the diff still engaged it then goes off when the diff is disengaged. i tried cleaning up the connectors on mine but it made limited difference. but it does go out once the lock is disengaged. are you sure it has disengaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
