Thanks loquito,
I guess I have a number of problems with my centre diff lock, I think that the switch that I have know ordered will only work if the CDL operates and in its self has no effect on the CDL its self, we shall see. I do know that when I flick CDL switch I can here a clicking sound on the Right Kick panel, I also get the same clicking when going into low box. I have a strong feeling this will run and run until every thing is tried. I shall likely be replacing things bit by bit in a suck it and see sort of way.
I wish they had a spell check on this as I have continually to go back and forth to word as my spelling is crap I am a bit dyslexic.
Don't worry about the spelling, when i post I have usually been up for a long time and so far no one has called me on my spelling
I would have someone engage 4 low while I was under the side of the truck to see if you can hear the little electric motor engage the center diff. It can be done with the engine OFF, in nutral, when you drop the shifter into low you should here the motor whine. THOUGH I do not know now that the CDL switch is installed. (I don't have one yet)maybe the proceedure is differant.
IIRC there is a way to test the electric motor with a 9 volt battery, you may be able to eliminate the CDL indicator switch and the electric motor by doing a couple easy tests.
Keep in mind I have done very little to either of the two LC's that I have owned. Most everything I mention has been posted by experianced folks and I have just plagerized the info.
It's getting later in the morning now so you should be getting all sorts of expert advise here real soon.
Check the previous threads, you may at least be able to test the two areas addressed above, at least two less things to ponder in your search if you do the tests.
Good luck, I hope you fix it

I believe there is a relay in the kick panel, you might be able to at least eliminate that as a problem.

. Others will tell you one way or another.
