Title: Diff lock problem 200tdi
Post by: suggs on September 18, 2007, 10:39:53

ive got no diff lock light, checked bulb and its fine. had a look at the switch on the transfer box and theres 12v going into it but only about half a volt coming out. dosent change when i engage or disengage the lock. just got this 90 so i cant really be 100% sure if its working just by driving it. low and high works fine.

any ideas what i could check..

cheers

Have you driven in difflock or just selected it stationary  :?:
i ask because the light only comes on when difflock engages not when it;s selected.
It;s the same when disengaging the light will not go out strait away.

the difflock light switch is located just behind the actuator
thats behind the front prop, above but behind if you get me  :P
