You can also tell if it is engaged by literally trying to turn hard. If it bonds up...becomes resistant, starts chirping you are engaged. I wouldn't recommend doing that too much because of the stress it causes but a good way to tell if it's on or not

The clicking is the relay and it is in your glove box next to your ecu. If that's working then your actuator should be getting power. I've been having a tough time to get mine to actually work so I'm looking at replacing. I have the maintenance manual so if you cab pull it you can rig a test...

Here is the inspection procedure which may help others. I will post the outcome when I can

Light works and sensor works. I have it removed and trying to get it to rub it doesn't work. Just scored huge from my local Toyota dealership. Now I will trouble shoot the issues properly

Nice. I did the same e-brake bypass but had to install a switch on the console...pioneer got wise to just grounding it out.

So been dealing with this issue for a while. 98 lc100 btw. Anyway I've forced it open by applying voltage...it was stuck in lock. Anyway I've pulled it out and everything Is copasetic on the unit it self. No binding and no broken parts. I'm thinking it's electrical. Now when I push the button...

Thanks. I will definitely keep posting up. I have a lot of ideas and it will take time and $..both of which are real tight...first things first is to get this girl back and road ready

I just picked up my 98 Hundy for $3k. Not a lot of rust but some. Center diff was locked on but was able to force the actuator to off so it is atleast drivable on the street. I feel like I stole this thing and happy as a clam. Side note, I am a hobby wrench, but good friend owns a shop...

While I the car was on the lift I engaged it and it moored into position so it is locking but the light is still flashing. Maybe there's a sensor that is not indicating OR like you said it needs to be driven around until it hits that sweet spot

Thanks for the info on the rear. I was able to unlock it by appling 12v to the motor. The motor is really finicky and works intermittently so it leads me to lean to the motor is bad. I of course didn't want to test if it will lock again then I wouldn't be able to drive her home. Anyway my...

Ok well so far I've pulled the actuator on the center diff and it was a bit frozen so worked it with 12v Md it is now moving freely. About to test installed and hope to get it unlocked

It happened

I've tried it all. It has never blinked just constant on. I'm stuck so far. Gonna have to drop it and pull the actuator but want to make sure it's not electrical. Any idea on the pin diagram?

Ok so I have spent about 3 or 4 days scouring this site as well as the internet to no avail. Purchased a 98 with 160k mi. Runs great but center diff is locked and light is illuminated. Definitely locked btw...wheel chirp on hard turns. I have not dropped the trans and diff to access the...
