Bowie69 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Put a jack under one axle, lift one wheel off the ground. Diff lock out = wheel spinning Diff lock in = truck tries to drive off the jack. Check the wires on the top of the switch (front/top face of the box) they can get broken quite easily.

FridgeFreezer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Or a safer option: Diff lock out = wheel spins by hand Diff lock in = wheel doesn't spin by hand The LT230 is not a complex beastie to have apart, this thread shows everything you need. The only if it's not working is if there's actual damage inside - broken bits of metal whirling round is generally bad news for gears & shafts & bearings, and that would make it a bigger job. If it's really damaged inside, a good 2nd hand unit shouldn't be more than £200, more like £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
